HELP SUPPORT AXIS DANCE COMPANY
In today's world of ever-shrinking arts funding, we cannot survive without the generous support of individual donors from amongst our pool of AXIS fans. We have several funds which allow you to direct your donation in the manner in which you see most fit.
The New Works Fund: provides resources for AXIS to continue to develop its cutting-edge choreography, to commission collaborating artists and to present quality performances to local, national, and international audiences.
The "Dance Access" Outreach and Education Fund: supports dance classes, workshops, residencies, assemblies in schools and lecture/demonstrations. AXIS maintains a strict policy that no one is turned away for the inability to pay.
The General Operations Fund: supports the many expenses of operating a successful dance company.
AXIS Dance Company is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, qualified under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. All contributions are tax-deductible. We appreciate your support on whatever level possible to you.
