Annual Fundraising
The future and sustainability of Canada’s National Ballet School is reliant on the generosity of our many dedicated supporters.
Although we receive funding from the federal, provincial and municipal levels of government, the School increasingly relies on self-generated revenue to meet its operating needs. Donations from individuals, corporations and foundations account for a significant portion of the School’s revenue, and we are proud to have cultivated a diverse range of donors who share the School’s commitment to helping young people achieve their full creative potential.
Thank you!
