Where to find dance sponsorships or Grants?

Question

The purpose of this letter to you is to seek sponsorship for Alexis or a way so she can pursue this amazing opportunity with DADA. I am writing you this letter to tell you about my amazing daughter, Alexis. I am a single mother raising my daughter in the South Bay. I could not be more proud of Lexxie and her accomplishments. In this respect, life is good.

One of the many activities Allexxis enjoys is dance her passion is larger than her talent. However she’s been dancing with a local company, since she was 2 ½ years old. She’s competes in competitions throughout the years and has been awarded many trophies. (is what she loves)Last year she was selected to entertain on Carnival Cruise lines, Disneyland Parade and Las Vegas. At age 9 Lexie is the President of a dance bag company she developed called “Bags To Riches”. By selling dance bags at local fairs, farmers markets and carnivals all of the proceeds from the sales go directly into her dance expense account. She’s solicits donations from all of her friends and family and even asked that her birthday presents be donations to the DADA summer intensive program to off set the overall costs associated with the with these classes. She is an amazing kid and not because she’s mine..

Ill stop babbling and get to the point. On May 3rd, 2008, she auditioned at The DADA and LOVED IT. She was selected into the program. The program tuition is 2,200. This does not include daily transportation and expenses for her ect. Please contact me to discuss any financial participation you can do and I will provide you with DADA’s non profit number for your accounting purposes, checks payable to dada Academy. After all, every bit helps!

Answer 1

I wish I could help but I am raising 3 active children of my own.  Have you called local businesses for assistance.  Many will sponsor children.  Or a civic group.  Or have you called the local newspaper, college paper, or television studio to do an interest story on your daughter.  In doing so, they will do a story on her and you can ask for donations then.

Good luck.
