Dancer’s Circle of Giving
Why give?
As a not-for-profit organization, a gift to Ellison Ballet makes an enormous difference in the training of our students and the success they achieve.
Gifts provide funding for such things as guest teachers, performances, and scholarship fund development, as well as the small group instruction and individual attention students at Ellison Ballet receive. In short, every aspect of a student’s training is touched by your generosity.
The fund from the Dancer's Circle of Giving is an important factor in balancing the budget. Tuition at Ellison Ballet only covers a portion of a student's education in a given year. Donations to the fund help to cover this gap and provide important, unrestricted funds for the day-to-day operations of the school.
