KEEP US oN pointe
Emerald Ballet Theatre believes art should be accessible to all. We are passionate about increasing opportunities for inclusive dance training, and enriching our community with high-quality performances and outreach events on the Eastside and beyond. Since tuition and ticket sales alone don’t cover our programming costs, donations are crucial for our non-profit organization.
Why support EBT and arts education for today’s youth?
EBT is committed to nurturing all dancing hearts, and welcomes students of every ability.
Arts education is critical to fostering creativity, innovation, cultural appreciation and critical thinking.
Opportunities for arts education are rapidly and significantly decreasing in public schools.
Dance builds physical, mental and spiritual fitness.
Group performances foster teamwork, collaboration, goal setting and confidence.
In the cultural melting pot the Eastside has become, EBT provides a universal outlet for expression and understanding.
Please note that for GiveLively transactions, a 2.2%+$0.30 fee applies.
EBT is a registered 501(c)(3), and donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
DOUBLE YOUR DONATION WITH A MATCHING GIFT
Did you know that many companies will double- or even triple-match employee donations to non-profits? In combining your contribution, you may be entitled to receive benefits of a higher membership level. More importantly, you will make an even greater impact in the lives of our dancers! Please contact your Human Resources Department or EBT for more information about how you can double your support.
2024 YEAR-END GIVING CAMPAIGN: WE DID IT!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we not only met our fundraising goal of $10,000, but surpassed it! These funds will sow seeds for the future, helping us pay for the theatre rental for EBT’s June 2025 production, and supporting both our artistic staff and next generation of dancers as they make a thrilling return to the stage. Thank you so much to the following supporters, who together raised $18,350 as of January 9, 2025:
