BECOME A DONOR
Supporting Professional Ballet in Kentucky

Individual Giving

As a nonprofit arts organization, Kentucky Ballet Theatre depends on the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations for a significant portion of the funding necessary to support a professional ballet company. These dollars make it possible for KBT to fulfill its mission to be true to the art form of ballet while performing both traditional and neoclassical ballets, in addition to producing new works, that are accessible, entertaining and creative. Please consider joining KBT for a performance or making an individual tax deductible donation to the organization to contribute to our commitment to bring high quality professional ballet to audiences across Kentucky. DONATE NOW!



Corporate Giving

Kentucky Ballet Theatre is proud to announce opportunities for your organization to partner with us to bring professional dance to audiences throughout Kentucky. KBT reaches patrons, subscribers, KBT Academy students and families, and those across the state who have enjoyed one of our many outreach programs. Partnering with KBT is a great way to reach our diverse audience and to show your support of professional ballet in Kentucky. There are many levels of corporate giving available—everything from providing pointe shoes to one of our dancers all the way up to fully funding one of our performances. Business partnerships begin with a minimum tax-deductible gift of $500. Sponsorship levels begin at $1,000 and offer many benefits to your company, including visibility in KBT advertising and promotions, discounted tickets, special acknowledgment at performances and events, and networking opportunities throughout the year. Please call (859) 252-5245 or email admin@kyballet.com to inquire about corporate giving opportunities. Check back soon for KBT resource libraries with Corporate Sponsorship information.
