With your support we can keep helping

Dance Professionals Fund receives no regular funding. As such we are reliant on donations and legacy giving from people who care about the dance profession and those who dedicate their working lives to it.

If dance has been important to you at any point in your life, either watching or taking part, please consider donating to us.

Your support will help current and former dancers, dance teachers, choreographers and choreologists. We run a wide range of grant programmes and tailored support to dance professionals.

Give With Confidence

A legacy in your will ensures that future generations get help. If you would like to discuss leaving a legacy to the Fund, please contact the office for advice. 

We are a member charity of Remember A Charity. You can visit the Remember A Charity website to find out how to leave a gift to charity when making a Will.
