Individual Giving

Support the Louisville Ballet

The Louisville Ballet thrives because of the generosity of individuals, corporations, foundations and government entities. Individual gifts, however, are the fastest growing contributions to not-for-profit organizations such as the Ballet and play a major role in assisting with the present and future success of the Company.

The Louisville Ballet, the state ballet of Kentucky, produces exceptionally high quality dance performances for the community and region; brings innovative new work to the stage and produces the classics with an equal sense of excitement and energy; provides excellent training through its School; and enhances the community’s understanding of the value and beauty of dance through educational outreach programs for all ages.

Individual gifts play an integral role in the success of the Company as they reflect the value our supporters place on the arts in the Louisville community. As you may know, ticket sales do not begin to cover programming and production expenses. We depend on the generosity of people like you - people who understand and appreciate the beauty of dance and the value the Louisville Ballet brings to this community.

A gift to the Company will ensure that it has the essential resources it needs to produce a successful season. Below, please find a list of expenses that the Company incurs throughout a regular season:

  • Production rights and choreographers fees for a Company Premiere: $23,500
  • Dancers’ shoes for one season: $35,000
  • Conductor fees for one production: $7,000
  • Youth scholarships for one year: $20,000
  • Travel expenses for guest artists in one season: $52,700

These items are critical to the creation and production of dance. Your tax-deductible gift will aid the Louisville Ballet in financing these necessary elements and therefore continuing to bring the highest quality artistic product to the Louisville community.
