Individual Gifts
Become Our Partner
In ballet, a pas de deux unites two dancers in a graceful partnership. When you donate to Oregon Ballet Theatre, you become that partner. An individual gift supports our company’s growth through training, performance, and access to training and performance facilities.
OBT offers two overarching Donor Benefits Circles: Pointe Society and Friends of OBT featuring benefits that begin with a gift as low as $100 per year. Please consider becoming our partner!
