JOIN THE FLOCK SUPPORT EXCELLENCE
In Dance
HELP US CONTINUE TO BRING THE WORLD’S BEST DANCE TO PORTLAND - PLEASE DONATE AND JOIN OUR FLOCK!
Did you know that ticket sales cover less than 40% of White Bird’s total budget? We rely on support from individuals, as well as local businesses and foundations, to continue our extensive and longstanding dance programming, community outreach, and equity initiatives. Although we continue to contend with rising production costs and decreasing public support for the arts, we are optimistic about what we can achieve with your help.
Together, we can make dance engaging, equitable, and accessible for everyone.
YOUR GIFT, OUR ACTION
Your donation enables us to act on our six values, aligned with our Equity Commitment, bringing positive change to our local community as well as the greater dance world:
Excellence in Performance
We compensate highly skilled dance artists and crew fairly for their hard work.
Accessibility and Inclusiveness
We provide thousands of low-cost and no-cost tickets annually to Portlanders in need.
Generosity of Spirit
We go above and beyond to ensure both audiences and visiting artists have the best possible experience.
IT’S EASY TO DONATE
Diversity in Movement
We present the dance you know and love, plus the dance you don’t know you love...yet.
Dedication to Community
We arrange local community engagement opportunities for each and every artist we bring to Portland.
Fiscal Responsibility
With good governance and your support, White Bird continues to operate sustainably.
