Support the Dancers of Berkeley Ballet

DONATE to BBT

For over 40 years, Berkeley Ballet (BBT) has supported dancers of all ages and backgrounds in the Bay Area by providing exceptional training in a supportive environment.

We are only able to do this with community support through individual contributions and business sponsorships.

Contributions directly support BBT’s dancers, artistic programming, scholarships, and Tuition Assistance. BBT's Tuition Assistance Program provides financial support to dancers in the Pre-Ballet and Youth Division to subsidize training and performances in The Nutcracker Bird and Spring Showcase.

Berkeley Ballet Theater is a 501(c)3 organization, Tax ID #94-2711919.

The 2024-25 Season Tuition Assistance Program Fund-drive

This year, we are asking for your help to raise $40,000 in support of BBT’s Tuition Assistance Program. Every dollar given directly supports the tuition and performance fees of participating dancers.

The total need for the 2024-25 Season to support every family who has requested help is $60,669.00. Our hope is to meet this need and surpass our $40,000 goal so that we can be there for every dancer in need this Season.

Please consider contributing to our Tuition Assistance Program before year-end to help us meet the need of all our dancers and families!

SPECIAL EVENTS

Love a great party with a purpose? The BBT season includes special events to celebrate our dancers’ progress, welcome new and returning families back to school, and celebrate our Adult Open Division dancers’ accomplishments at their annual showcase. In addition, each year, the BBT community comes together to raise funds to support critical programming at the LOVE BBT Gala and Auction. Lend a hand in planning or be a part of the night-of experience. All help is welcome!
