The National Ballet of Canada looks to ZipGive's Text to Donate programs in their fundraising efforts through mobile Text to Give fundraising!

Ticket sales account for less than half of the true cost of sustaining a ballet company the size and renown of The National Ballet of Canada. The generosity of donors is therefore vital.

A non-profit organization, The National Ballet of Canada relies greatly on individuals, corporations and foundations who share a love of art and who appreciate the achievements of this world-renowned Canadian ballet company. Your donations ensure the National Ballet remains a world leader in dance. Charitable donations allow the National Ballet to continue to: Present spectacular performances; Offer valuable education activities and programs; Tour our ballets in Canada and internationally; Commission and acquire new works; and, Nurture and support choreographers, dancers and musicians

For the 2011/12 season, the National Ballet needs to raise $6.5 million from the private sector to support the $26 million operating budget. Every gift helps the National Ballet consistently achieve excellence and every gift is appreciated.

ZipGive is pleased that National Ballet of Canada has chosen ZipGive's Text to Give platform to support the organization's mobile fundraising and donor outreach programs.
