The Magic of Dance

Your Gift is Needed
Did you know that Alberta Ballet relies on multiple income streams to bring these incredible performances to the stage?
Donations are at the very heart of our funding. As a registered charity, Alberta Ballet relies on donations to bridge the shortfall to perform in the Jubilee, create new works and attract the best talent. As stewards of a rarified art form, we face a delicate balance, and ticket prices only get us part of the way there. Donations make it possible for us to deliver the art you love.
Conceived during the pandemic, Alberta Ballet created an Endowment Fund to provide more financial stability in the years to come. When our goal of $15 million is reached, the Endowment Fund will start providing consistent, predictable disbursements that will help us bring seasons like this one to life. It will also help Alberta Ballet be a haven for Albertans to connect with each other and themselves whether they are deeply moved in our audience, taking their first step into a community dance class, or pursuing their craft through professional dance training.
Dance has the power to unite communities and transform lives through inspiration. Please consider making a one-time or recurring donation today.
To make a donation to the Forever Moved campaign or to learn more about the Endowment Fund, please visit Endowment Fund | Alberta Ballet.
