Double the Impact:

$20,000 Matching Challenge for CCB

For 45 years, Canyon Concert Ballet has been a home for artists, students, and audiences across Northern Colorado. We’ve brought world-class dance to our stages, nurtured the next generation of dancers in our school, and worked tirelessly to make the arts accessible to all.

But like many arts organizations nationwide, we are facing one of the most challenging financial moments in our history. Recently, two of our performances fell significantly short of ticket sale projections. Paired with rising costs of operations, more families struggling to afford educational programming, and the broader climate of economic uncertainty, it has become increasingly difficult to meet our essential needs.

Traditional safety nets—such as government relief programs and accessible lending—have become less reliable, if not unavailable. While it pains us to extend our hand again to the community that has already given so generously, we must be honest: we urgently need your help.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce an extraordinary opportunity—an anonymous donor has pledged to match contributions up to $20,000. Every dollar you give will be doubled, directly supporting the bare essentials of our operations.

Your gift will ensure that:

  • Dancers can return to work in September to train, rehearse, and perform

  • Students can continue to learn and grow in our studios

  • Community programs like our Seated Ballet class for seniors remain accessible

  • CCB continues as a cultural pillar of Fort Collins

If Canyon Concert Ballet has ever moved you, inspired you, or given you a place to belong, please consider making a donation today—of any size. Your generosity, paired with this matching challenge, will make a tangible difference in ensuring that CCB’s legacy continues for the next generation.

Please note that individual donations for this campaign are not tax-deductible. However, all contributions and the accompanying match will go directly toward sustaining Canyon Concert Ballet’s operations.
