Special Giving Opportunities
 
American Ballet Theatre's special giving opportunities are perfect for those wishing to develop a long-lasting and meaningful relationship with the Company. Gifts to ABT include, but are not limited to the following opportunities:

Production Sponsorship

Since its founding, ABT has maintained an unwavering commitment not only to preserving the magnificent ballets of the past, but to nurturing and showcasing the talent of great modern innovators. Presenting ballets of the classical canon, as well as producing new works, is a tremendous collaboration that brings together some of the world’s finest dancers, choreographers, conductors, composers, musicians and designers.

Sponsorship gifts can support a range of production needs in the following areas:

• Full-length ballets
• New works
• Major revivals
• Choreographers
• Costumes for new works
• Musical arrangements
• Lighting and Set Design
  
  

Dancer Training Program Support

To train the next generation of world-class artists, ABT must provide the finest instruction possible as well as the financial support necessary to young dancers so that they may focus solely on their training. Through contributions of scholarship and sponsorship funding, individuals have the opportunity to ensure the next generation’s artistic and technical capabilities and continue ABT’s long-standing legacy. Special Gift opportunities for the Dancer Training Programs include:

• ABT Studio Company Scholarship
• Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School Tuition Scholarship

Scholarship support may also offer meaningful opportunities to create a legacy gift in memory or in honor of a loved one. The Special Needs Fund is an emergency fund that helps cover tuition, housing or unexpected expenses such as medical bills that a JKO student or Studio Company dancer may experience.
