Corporate Support
Students at the School of American Ballet embody athleticism, beauty, determination, precision, and excellence. Corporations that support SAB's young dancers and artistic programs benefit by aligning themselves with these qualities. Members of the School’s Corporate Advisory Board provide financial support as well as professional expertise and leadership.
CORPORATE GRANTS
Corporations provide essential philanthropic support of special projects such as scholarships and financial aid, outreach and recruitment, faculty salaries, and student wellness programs.
EVENTS
SAB’s four annual benefit events—A Student Choreography Evening in the fall, The Nutcracker Family Benefit in December, the SAB Winter Ball in March, and the Workshop Performance Benefit in June—provide essential support for the School while offering an ideal setting for employee or client entertaining. Learn more about our benefit events.
IN-KIND GIFTS
Companies make gifts of products and services to help support SAB’s fundraising events, marketing and public relations efforts, and student needs. In-kind donations not only provide budget relief for the School, but can put a company’s brand in front of a desirable target audience.
SPONSORSHIPS
Sponsorships are available for SAB’s four annual benefits and Young Patrons events, offering full credit on printed materials, inclusion in spoken remarks, and product sampling opportunities.
The School’s centerpiece sponsorship opportunity is the National Audition Tour to 20+ cities every January and February. Sponsor benefits include logo visibility on all tour print materials, advertising, and signage. The Tour is currently sponsored by Freed of London.
MATCHING GIFTS
Many companies match employee contributions to charitable organizations, thus increasing the dollar value of these donations. Learn more about matching gifts.
