The support of the community is vital to Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre.

Earned revenues from ticket sales, tuitions and the endowment cover 60% of our annual budget. The remainder of our annual expenses are supported by the Annual Fund, which is sustained by private contributions.

Your gift to PBT’s Annual Fund will support:

  • Classical and contemporary artistic repertoire presented in the Cultural District and at regional venues,
  • The classical ballet curriculum of the PBT School, which trains students of all ages,
  • Arts Education programs that enable youth to engage in experiential education programs, and
  • Community Engagement programs that provide patrons with a deeper understanding of ballet.

There are many ways that you can support PBT’s Annual Fund.
