Giving
Support All That We Do
Join the community of donors who keep Los Angeles Ballet on stage.
As a Los Angeles Ballet donor, you join a community of people who help us bring exceptional ballets to the stage and support the transcendent art form of ballet so that it can be shared with and enjoyed by as many people as possible. Your support goes wherever it is needed most — sustaining performances, education programs, community access, and artistic growth across the organization.
Targeted Ways to Make a Difference
Throughout the year, Los Angeles Ballet offers focused giving opportunities that support artistic excellence, accessibility, education, and the creative community. Each campaign supports a vital part of LAB's work, from the stage to the community.
Supports Los Angeles Ballet's artists by underwriting the most essential resource that enables artistic excellence on stage. Pointe shoes are not a costume — they are the foundation of every performance. Every LAB ballerina uses at least 40 pairs of pointe shoes each season at nearly $200 per pair — a company investment of $150,000 annually.
Expands inclusive access to dance by supporting Los Angeles Ballet's Sensory-Friendly The Nutcracker. With guidance from community partner The Autism Society of Los Angeles, this performance is specially adapted to create a more comfortable and accessible environment for individuals with autism, sensory sensitivities, or other cognitive or social challenges, as well as their families.
Sustains Los Angeles Ballet’s education and community engagement programs, bringing high‑quality dance experiences to students and underserved communities. Our signature programs — A Chance to Dance, which provides free classes in residency in schools and at our home studios, and Power of Performance (POP!), which gives 10% of tickets to every performance for free (a value of $300,000) to community organizations serving underserved communities across LA County — are at the heart of this work.
Support the power of live performance through the Los Angeles Ballet Orchestra Fund. Your gift helps bring world-class musicians and dancers together onstage, elevating the artistic experience for audiences while sustaining professional orchestral musicians in Los Angeles. Live music transforms ballet from performance into an unforgettable experience.
