The Board supervises the theatre’s finances and examines the financial statements and annual report. The support association is a an official registered organisation with a business ID, which can apply for grants, enter into contracts, pay wages and salaries and write invoices.

The Open Doors Theatre’s activities are supported by the City of Helsinki Cultural Office and the Ministry of Education and Culture, the KVS Foundation, Teatteri Avoimien Ovien Ystävät ry (Friends of Open Doors Theatre Society) and people and organisations who have sponsored a seat in their name.
