Dear Friend,
The Alabama Youth Ballet Company relies heavily on the generosity of individuals, corporations, and foundations to
carry out its mission.
As an organization seeking non-profit status in the performing arts field, support from individuals and organizations
is critical. This support takes the following forms:
- individual gifts
- corporate gifts/grants
- foundation grants
- corporate sponsorship
All supporters are acknowledged in playbills distributed at all of our productions. In addition, corporate sponsors
have many opportunities for acknowledgment in various marketing materials distributed by The Alabama Youth
Ballet Company.

The Alabama Youth Ballet Company.
The Alabama Youth Ballet Company's mission is to:
- create and present ballets of excellence that are designed to be stimulating, culturally relevant
and appropriate to children and adult audiences;
- create an innovative approach to ballet training that welcomes diversity, and ensures unanimous
participation and achievement by all students;
- create sustainable, inclusive and engaging outreach programs that make ballet accessible to
participants of all racial, cultural and economic backgrounds; and
