Support Nashville Ballet

Your support is vital to the continued success of Nashville Ballet.  One half of our annual budget is funded through contributions, with 80 cents of every dollar received put directly toward season performances at TPAC, Outreach and Community Engagement programs and our school.  Supporting Nashville Ballet means you are a partner in the creative process that brings world-class ballet to thousands in Middle Tennessee! 

Donate now to keep us “on our toes!”

Individual Giving
Individual donors provide the corps of support that enables us to present world-class ballet on stages across Middle Tennessee, from TPAC to elementary schools, and brings dance to thousands who may not otherwise experience the power of movement to music.

Corporate & Foundation Partnerships
Corporate and foundation giving provides the broad-ranging support it takes to actually bring a production to fruition.  Sponsorships provide the opportunity for these organizations to support our season performances at TPAC or our extensive Outreach and Community Engagement programs.

Government Grants
Nashville Ballet is fortunate to receive vital funding through the National Endowment for the Arts, Tennessee Arts Commission and Metro Nashville Arts Commission that supports the basic operations of the organization as well as innovation in programming.

Planned Giving
The Legacy Circle offers donors the opportunity to contribute to the long-term financial health of Nashville Ballet through planned gifts, such as wills, bequests and life insurance.

Endowment
Contributing to the endowment for Nashville Ballet is an investment in our future.  The intention of our endowment is to grow it substantially so the interest generated by its gifts can provide vital annual support to the organization’s operating budget.

Volunteers & Special Events
Formed in 1992, Friends of Nashville Ballet is our volunteer corps.  This group of dedicated supporters provides assistance with various efforts supporting the administrative, artistic and financial needs of the company.

Ballet Ball
Ballet Ball is Nashville Ballet’s most elegant annual fundraiser, bringing together the city’s most prominent philanthropists and patrons of the arts for an elaborate black-tie affair every year in March.  The evening includes a glamorous cocktail hour, a gourmet seated dinner and an exclusive gala performance by Nashville Ballet accompanied by noted Nashville artists. Guests then take the floor themselves and dance the night away to music from a live band.
