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.
