In this interview with the Business of Giving, Deborah Rutter, president of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, in Washington, discusses the diversity of performing-art forms it offers and the fact that all of the staff members consider themselves to be fundraisers.

The Kennedy Center is in the midst of an expansion, and it used the 100th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s birth this year to celebrate and recommit to his ideals of service, courage, freedom, justice, and gratitude.

We have education programs in all 50 states, and they vary from being convenings and bringing together the best in a community so that we can think about arts education in that community and encourage and empower leaders in local communities to do that work. - Deborah Rutter
