​Zikr Dance Ensemble is Growing!
 
Join us as a major individual or corporate donor to help make the dreams of
Colorado’s most unique contemporary dance company come true!
 

Due to the tremendous success of the past 3 seasons, the demand for Zikr’s mesmerizing performances has grown now to call more performances, both in the Denver metro area and throughout Colorado and northern New Mexico ​as part of the Zikr’s highly successful Rural Colorado Community Tour Program.





​What Zikr Dance Ensemble's growth means:
​

  1. Zikr’s dancer contracts have doubled! This has provided greater artistic and technical quality and stability within the company.
  2. Planning by the Board regarding the expansion to both a full Spring and Fall season has brought greater stability and clarity to fundraising goals.
  3. The scheduling of prime local venues for Zikr’s season has also benefitted with more date options and more convenience for audiences. 
  4. As the company’s annual budget has more than doubled, local and federal government funding has increased and in turn, other potential grant sources have become more forthcoming.
  5. With this increased activity and a greater profile in the region, individual and foundation donations have increased.
  6. Zikr's Rural Colorado Community Tour Program, now in it's 16th Season, continues to bring cutting edge contemporary dance performances and outreach programs to numerous rural Colorado communities which rarely have the opportunity to see professional dance on this level. This acclaimed program has been recognized by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts for the last two seasons!  ​

The Plan

​To sustain and further develop Zikr's unprecedented growth on both the regional and national stage. 

As previously mentioned, Zikr Dance Ensemble's annual budget has more than doubled over the past three years. To meet the new demands for its artistic services and to accommodate this growth, Zikr's annual goal going forward is to raise $100,000 through individual and foundation support.
​The Zikr Board and consultants have broken this goal into a "Pyramid" model for
