Donor Benefits


  1. Zikr’s dancer contracts will double! This in turn will provide greater artistic quality and stability within the company.
  2. Annual planning by the Board regarding the two seasons and subsequent fundraising goals will benefit by greater direction, stability and clarity.
  3. The scheduling of prime local venues for Zikr’s season will also enjoy greater stability and provide more convenience for audiences. 
  4. As the company’s annual budget more than doubles, local and federal government funding will increase and other sources for potential grants will also become more forthcoming.
  5. With increased activity and a greater profile, individual and corporate donation goals will become more solidified and transparent.
  6. Zikr Dance Ensemble looks to become the only contemporary ballet company, providing the highest quality in contemporary dance, that annually brings the best in performances and educational outreach programs to numerous rural Colorado communities.​​

The Plan

It is projected that with the addition of a regular annual Fall Season, Zikr’s annual budget will more than double. To meet the new demands for its artistic services and to accommodate this growth, Zikr Dance Ensemble’s goal is to raise $100,000 through individual and corporate sponsorships in 2022.
We have broken this goal into a “Pyramid” model for
 Major Individual and Corporate Donors:
Major Individual and Corporate Sponsor Levels:
Platinum: 2 at $25,000
Gold: 3 at $10,000
Silver: 4 at $5,000

​The support of donors like you allows us to expand Zikr’s unique vision of what is possible as we continue to present unparalleled world-class contemporary dance that elevates the cultural landscape of the Denver metro area and the entire Rocky Mountain region along with the highest quality of accessible arts education throughout our community.
