Institutional Support
FUEL THE MOMENTUM
Grants from foundations and public partners power experimentation, nurture emerging choreographers, and drive programs that use dance to reimagine how art lives in community.
FOUNDATION GRANTS
Foundations are vital partners in sustaining San Francisco Ballet, supporting both daily operations and projects that shape the future of the art form. From commissioning new ballets and music to facilitating global artistic collaborations, support from foundations fuels work that is powerful, inclusive, and transformative. Every grant makes a difference.
Some of the vital initiatives powered by the generosity of our funders include:
- Creation House, which mentors the next generation of choreographers
- Wellness and physical conditioning support for dancers
- Raising Leaders, to prepare dancers for the next stage in their careers
- Dance classes for people with Parkinson’s
- Performances for neurodivergent audiences
- Programs for public school students and Boys & Girls Clubs
GOVERNMENT GRANTS
San Francisco Ballet engages with government partners through competitive grants to expand access to the arts. We build public-private partnerships that have deep community impact. It is important to recognize that the public sector has an essential role to play in ensuring that every community has access to the performing arts.
