Individual Giving

Individual contributions play an important role in Fort Wayne Ballet’s financial make-up. Ticket sales and academy tuition cover only half of Fort Wayne Ballet's budget!  Just as Fort Wayne Ballet strives to stretch our creative bounds, the ways for you to support the Ballet can be equally as creative in your opportunities for giving your time, talents, or treasure.  Individual contributions may be made in many forms including annual donations, gifts given through estate planning, or donations to our operating endowment fund.

Honorariums – Honor a loved one’s birthday, anniversary other special event. Your gift to our newly established operating endowment fund will be acknowledged with a distinctive card sent to the person being honored.

Gifts of Securities – Keep the bright lights shining on Fort Wayne Ballet with a gift of appreciated stock. Fort Wayne Ballet can provide a significant tax advantage since you may deduct the full market value of the stock at the time of your gift and avoid capital gains tax.

We appreciate the contributions of all those who have given generously to Fort Wayne Ballet. This generosity has enabled us to continue to provide quality dance education and entertainment to our community. Imagine the positive impact on the Ballet and our community if more individuals made a modest donation to our future. Contributions may be sent to: Fort Wayne Ballet, Inc., 324 Penn Avenue, Fort Wayne, IN 46805. For more information, please contact our Development officer at 260.484.9646.
