Make a Tax-Deductible Donation to ttgsf

Tax-deductible donations can be made through our fiscal sponsor, Dancers’ Group:

We're wrapping an incredible first year of The Training Ground: over 160 days of classes, a dozen dedicated faculty members, and 41 dynamic visiting artists bringing their expertise from the Bay and far beyond. The growth we’ve witnessed in our inaugural cohort of students is invigorating. 

Our first year — a pilot year of sorts — was also a year of learning. Rebuilding this program independently from its predecessor comes with real challenges. As we plan for year two, we're turning to you.

We've launched HOLD THE GROUND, an ambitious fundraising campaign to raise $25,000 by July 1. These funds will root us where we stand as we move into year two: maintaining fair compensation for artists and faculty, supporting scholarships to keep the program accessible, and building the operational infrastructure that makes everything else possible.

We know this work matters. At a time when many similar programs have closed, ttgsf remains committed to being a hub for pre-professional dance training in San Francisco. We were founded in response to this community, and now we're asking this community to help us hold our ground.

Every donation counts, and no amount is too small. Donations are tax-deductible through our fiscal sponsor, Dancers' Group, and every donor will be entered to win a ttgsf t-shirt.
