WHAT IT TAKES TO RAISE THE CURTAIN

 

Every gift lifts the curtain a little higher.

A ballet company is built in stages, and each one has a price. Choose a level to see what it puts on stage.

GIVE TODAY

 

What your gift actually buys.

NBTOA has no endowment and no ticket revenue yet. Right now, individual donors are the entire budget — which means a gift of any size changes what happens next.

 

$35

A free seat for a student who has never seen a ballet performed live.

$100

One pair of pointe shoes. A dancer in heavy rehearsal can go through a pair in a week.

$250

One dancer, one full week in the studio — paid, so they can afford to be there.

$1,000

A costume built from scratch for a principal role, and kept in the company's collection.

$5,000

Live musicians for a performance, instead of recorded music.

Join the Company Circle

Give monthly and you give us something a one-off gift cannot: the ability to plan. $25 a month lets us commit to a studio, a dancer, a date on a calendar. Company Circle members get rehearsal invitations, casting news before it is public, and first access to opening-night seats.

FOR BUSINESSES & FOUNDATIONS

​

Put your name on Atlanta's next ballet company.

Sponsors reach an audience that arts marketing rarely gets to: families across the southern metro, school districts, and a founding story that local press is going to want to tell. Getting in now costs a fraction of what it will cost after opening night.

Performance venue hours

Photography & video

Printing & signage

Transportation for dancers

Physical therapy/sports medicine

Costume & wardrobe materials

Legal or accounting hours

OTHER WAYS IN

​

Money is one way to help. It is not the only one.

Join the board

We are seating a founding board and actively want people with fundraising, finance, legal, education or Atlanta arts experience. Founding board members shape everything that follows.

Dancers & artistic staff

Auditions open in 2027, but we keep a file. Send a résumé, a reel and a short note about why this company. We read every one.

Offer a venue

Churches, school auditoriums, community centres, recital halls. If you have a stage in the southern metro, we would like to talk about using it.

Volunteer

Front of house, costume sewing, load-in and load-out, grant research, social media. Tell us what you are good at and we will find a use for it.

THE FIRST PIROUETTE

A short note, once a month.

Rehearsal photographs, casting news, where we will be performing next, and first access to tickets before they go on general sale. No fundraising appeals in every issue — we promise.

Prefer email? Write to info@nbtoa.org. We never sell or share your details.
