If you can spare an extra hour per month, or a few hours for a special event, we’d love to have you join our team! Your contribution will make a significant impact on the work we do, and we believe that your skills and talents would be a valuable addition to DAPPR. We appreciate any amount of time you can give.

Contact us today and let us know how you can help.

SPONSOR

Support from businesses and corporations allows DAPPR’s artistic and outreach programs to thrive. By aligning with DAPPR, our sponsors demonstrate a commitment to local arts and gain access to educational and community partners and programs for brand exposure and employee engagement. Select from our pre-design sponsorship giving levels, ranging from $300 to $5,000+, or a tailored sponsorship proposal can be created for your corporate entity depending on the type of program your business wants to support.

Matching Gift Program

Your contribution to DAPPR may be doubled! Many local and national companies will match the charitable contributions of their current and retired employees. Many companies match dollar-for-dollar, or even double, the donations of their employees. Some also match the donations of spouses, former employees, or other family members, as well as the volunteer hours employees commit to DAPPR. It all depends on the companies’ involvement and matching gift policy.

It’s as easy as filling out your company’s matching gift form, available from your employer’s personnel office. Fill out the form with the information about your donation to DAPPR, mail the completed form to us and we’ll take care of the rest!

Sustaining Stars

Sustaining Stars are our donors who provide dependable financial support on an ongoing, monthly basis. A sustaining donation allows us a consistent source of revenue so we can focus producing the programs you enjoy, while allowing you the convenience and simplicity of automatic renewal.

Your monthly donations to DAPPR will continue at this donation level, and you’ll always be supporting local dance. Donations are made through an automatic secure website, saving you time and money since you never have to write another check or find a stamp. Spreading support over the year also makes generosity easier on your budget.

Did you know that you can support us while you shop at King Soopers? All you have to do is Download the Kroger App and create an account.

In the app, tap on the three horizontal bars in the upper right corner > rewards > community rewards > search for Dance Alliance and choose the organization. We get a percentage of your normal purchases.

We have some Safeway cards that are ready to be loaded. They too give us 3% of purchases. If anyone is interested in them, please call Emily Murawski, the Dance Alliance Board President at 1-719-205-1313.

How do these cards work? You will get a community card directly from DAPPR that has already been dedicated to us. Then, you can load the card with buying power at a Safeway Service Desk. You would charge the value you want on the community card to your own credit card or you could pay cash. We will get a percentage of what you spend at Safeway when you use that community card to purchase items.
