Donate

First of all, we thank you for considering a donation to HVDT. We understand that money is incredibly valuable, and we are honored that you consider us worthy of yours.

Second of all, since you are considering donating, you deserve to know where your donation will go. Your donation allows us to:

• Pay our dancers,
• Rent rehearsal and performance space,
• Pay administrative costs, such as the maintenance of this website, and
• Cover any additional expenses that come up in our pursuit of our mission.

Fractured Atlas is an arts service organization whose sponsorship essentially allows HVDT to function as a nonprofit without having to go through the expensive and time-consuming rigamarole of applying for, obtaining, and maintaining 501(c)3 status.

For more information on this incredible organization, the amazing work they do, and the many other projects they support, visit their website at www.fracturedatlas.org.

To show our gratitude for your support, HVDT is proud to offer various tiers of benefits to our donors. Unfortunately, some of these benefits are not tax-deductible, meaning you will only be able to deduct the portion of your donation that is in excess of the value of the benefits received.

For example, if you donate $350 to HVDT, you will receive all of the perks of the BENEFACTOR level ($250 or more). We believe these perks to be worth $100, so you will only be able to write off $250 ($350 donation minus $100 worth of perks) as a tax-deductible donation.
The benefit tiers are as follows:

• SUPPORTER: Those who donate $25 or more* will be recognized in programs at HVDT performances and will receive advance notice of performances.
• FRIEND: Those who donate $50 or more* will receive all of the above plus advance ticket purchase opportunities and discounted tickets, where available (estimated value $10).
• FAMILY: Those who donate $100 or more* will receive all of the above plus free tickets, where available, and an invitation for two to attend one in-studio rehearsal per calendar year (estimated value $20).
• BENEFACTOR: Those who donate $250 or more* will receive all of the above plus an invitation for two to our annual Members Reception (total estimated value $120).
• PATRON: Those who donate $500 or more* will receive all of the above plus an invitation for two to one Tech or Dress rehearsal per season, including backstage tour (total estimated value $120).
• DANCER'S CIRCLE: Those who donate $1,000 or more* will receive all of the above plus an invitation for one to a beginner-level ballet class taught by Director Matthew S. Berenbaum and an invitation for two to our annual Meet the Dancers event (total estimated value $180).
• DIRECTOR'S CIRCLE: Those who donate $2,500 or more* will receive all of the above plus dinner for two with Director Matthew S. Berenbaum (total estimated value $270).
• MUSE: Those who donate $5,000 or more* will receive all of the above plus the right to commission a piece by selecting music and discussing the desired subject matter with Director Matthew S. Berenbaum. Each donor who commissions a piece will be acknowledged every time the piece is performed and will receive an invitation for two to the piece's world premiere, as well as a poster autographed by Director Matthew S. Berenbaum and the original cast of the commissioned piece (total estimated value $420).
