Why Contribute

Together, we:

  • Bring excellence in dance to Portland
  • Commission new dance works
  • Keep ticket prices affordable
  • Connect internationally acclaimed dance companies with our community

With your generous support, we have been able to:

  • Present 135 different dance companies from 20 different countries in 350  performances
  • Commission 29 new dance works
  • Keep our ticket prices low and affordable.
  • Connect over 40,000 public school children with dance

White Bird is fiscally responsible.

  • White Bird ended our 2010-11 season “in the black”.
  • 83 cents of each dollar contributed goes directly to White Bird's programs (presenting, education, community engagement, and commissioning).
  • White Bird has no third-party debt.
  • White Bird continues to reduce internal borrowing (against ticket sales) for cash flow purposes in our fourth quarter (April – June).
  • We invite you to view our Audited Financial Statements and to contact us with any questions or concerns.
