Two Ways to Give

1. General Donation

Your general donation fuels everything we do:

• Bold, inspiring performances that bring contemporary ballet to life

• Mentorship and professional connections for aspiring young dancers

• Community outreach programs that make the arts accessible to all

Every dollar directly supports the dancers, choreographers, educators, and programs that make Deos a vibrant part of Grand Rapids’ arts community.

2. Pointe Shoe Fund

Help keep our dancers safe, strong, and performing at their best.

A single pair of pointe shoes can cost up to $150, and for a professional ballerina, they can wear out quickly. Properly replacing worn shoes isn’t a luxury. It’s essential for injury prevention, alignment, and the long-term health of every dancer.

By giving to the Pointe Shoe Fund, you’re providing the tools our artists rely on every day. It’s a direct way to impact a dancer’s experience, safety, and artistry.

Why Your Gift Matters

When you give to Deos, you’re not just supporting a performance. You’re:

• Investing in local artists

• Strengthening the cultural fabric of your city

• Expanding arts education and outreach in Grand Rapids

• Ensuring that contemporary ballet has a thriving home in our community

Your generosity keeps the arts alive—and ensures that everyone has the chance to experience the beauty, discipline, and joy that dance brings.

Give Today. Make a Difference That Moves.

Together, we can continue building a creative community where dancers grow, audiences are inspired, and the arts flourish.
