Funding Opportunities

Your individual or corporate gift ensures the growth and future of ballet in Greenville and beyond

General Fund (Unrestricted)

A gift to our General Fund supports the overall operations of our organization and is often our greatest need.

Scholarships

IB offers tuition assistance through the Jurgen Forster Boys Fund, the Cara Gary Memorial Fund, and a General Scholarship Fund. We strive to provide equal access to ballet training for all.

Community Outreach

Our multi-faceted outreach programming includes free classes for people with disabilities and for children in communities where opportunity and exposure is limited, as well as free performances and Q&A sessions for children at local libraries. Learn more.

Pointe Shoe Fund

Students in our Pre-Professional Company are provided with pointe shoes annually. This fund was generously started by Greta and Graham Somerville, long-time supporters of International Ballet.

Mainstage Productions

Donating to this fund supports our performances of full-length ballets such as The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Don Quixote, and Coppelia. Your gift makes it possible to provide exceptional ballet experiences to Upstate audiences.
