Mission Statement
City Ballet Foundation is committed to assisting City Ballet with providing the finest instructors and staff to lead its program. With exemplary staff in place, we can ensure it remains one of the best quality dance education programs in the country. This staff which we support includes our academic year instructors, guest master teachers, and world-renowned choreographers who set pieces for the school's stunning productions. City Ballet Foundation supports the development of young artists by sponsoring City Ballet's community performances and participation in exhibitions and festivals. As many may not be aware, there is a gap between what performance fees cover and the actual cost of setting a show. By underwriting new choreography, costumes, and theater sets, the Foundation helps ensure that all participating dancers receive the performance experience that is vital to their artistic development. City Ballet Foundation provides tuition assistance for dancers who have a passion for classical ballet, but lack the financial support required for years of training. Through these scholarships, dancers and their families experience the benefits of the arts with access to the highest quality of dance training and education, regardless of economic means. City Ballet Foundation is committed to increasing arts awareness in the community and remains active in the community. We have been able to offer weekly ballet classes to the Salvation Army's Kroc Center, located in the Tenderloin of San Francisco. The Foundation also provides access to underserved sectors of the community with tickets to our performances. City Ballet Foundation's sole source of funding is through the donations of generous supporters. We kindly ask that you consider making a donation to support our mission. Your contribution will support the dreams of young dancers and continue to provide all audiences access to the arts through the highest quality ballet performance.
About This Cause
The Foundation's key areas of emphasis are: • Supporting artistic residency Offering young artists the opportunity to work with respected teachers, artists and choreographers from around the world . • Sponsoring performance opportunities Providing young dancers the opportunity to perform and spread the word about the art form of ballet to young people and other underexposed audiences. • Providing dance scholarships To provide financial help to those whom do not have the economic means to pursue their goals in dance. We want to make this valuable art form of ballet available to all, regardless of economic means, race, or gender. • Community outreach To teach and expose young audiences to the valuable yet under represented art form of classical Ballet. We do this through performances, offering community classes to economically challenged youth, providing dance clothing and offering free performance tickets.
