Individual Giving
WE CHERISH OUR DONORS
Nearly 40% of Richmond Ballet’s yearly budget is funded through contributions. We rely on you to support exquisite performances, the highest caliber training and inspiring community engagement programs across the Commonwealth. We are truly your State Ballet of Virginia.
Gifts to the Richmond Ballet Annual Fund support the Ballet’s general operations, or you may designate your gift to support the Professional Company, The School of Richmond Ballet or Minds In Motion.
Whether you choose to become a member of the Cabriole Circle or the Friends Circle, every contribution makes a difference and advances our mission to “awaken and uplift the human spirit” through the art of dance.
Richmond Ballet gratefully accepts gifts of cash and stock. You can also donate online. Gifts may be mailed to
