Be the support waiting in the wings

Every individual and organisation engaged in staging ballet in New Zealand should have the means to pursue excellence.

The Royal New Zealand Ballet Foundation is committed to building a sustainable fund to provide long-term stability for ballet in New Zealand. Gifts made to the Foundation ensure that today’s budding dancers can dream of representing New Zealand on the world stage, and that tomorrow’s audiences will enjoy international talent right here at home.

Include the Foundation in your Will to honour the love of ballet that you have enjoyed in your lifetime.

Donate now to our sustainable fund to provide long-term stability for ballet in New Zealand.
