        Stage, studio, community

        Boston Ballet is pleased to announce a challenge grant to support our activities:

        • on the stage - world renowned artistry,
        • in the studio - Boston Ballet’s internationally recognized School, and
        • in the community – inspiring and educational outreach programs serving our community and enriching the lives of thousands of children

        The Blumenthal Family has generously offered a three-part challenge grant to match contributions up to a total of $1 million. Whether it is unrestricted support or a designated budget-relieving gift to one of the many Education, Outreach or Production Sponsorship Opportunities, the impact of your gift will be doubled. 

        Watch a video of Executive Director Barry Hughson discussing the challenge grant.
