legacy giving
growth in motion
impact
For more than 50 years, Rockford Dance Company has been part of this community’s cultural life — a resident partner at Riverfront Museum Park, a performance partner to the Rockford Symphony Orchestra, resident dance company at the Coronado Theatre, and a presence in Rockford classrooms through our school partnerships. That history is the foundation. Legacy gifts build what comes next — funding scholarships, productions, studio space, and artistic leadership for years to come.
If one of these giving levels fits what you’re looking to support, contact us directly — we’d love to walk through the details together.
Pointe Patrons
$5,000 per year | Annual commitment
A named scholarship available to participating dancers. Recognized as the “[Donor’s Name] Scholarship” in performance programs and on our website.
This level directly funds scholarships and financial support for dancers in RDC’s programs.
Bravo Ensemble
$15,000 | Named production sponsorship | 2 slots available per season
Named sponsorship of one full RDC production. Recognition on that production’s programs, marketing materials, and theater signage.
This level puts a donor’s name on a specific show for its run — one of the most visible recognition opportunities RDC offers.
Standing Ovation
$20,000 per year | Season sponsorship
Recognition as presenting sponsor across all season materials, programs, and promotional materials.
This level supports RDC’s full performance season, not a single production — the broadest recognition opportunity short of a named studio or leadership position.
Encore Legacy
$45,000 over 3 years | Studio naming | 10-year renewable term | 4 studios available
Permanent studio naming at RDC’s training facility. Your name, or a name of your choosing, is installed at the studio entrance and referenced in RDC materials tied to that space for the full term.
This level names the physical space where dancers train every week — a lasting, visible legacy at RDC’s home.
Prima
$20,000–$30,000 per year | 5-year phased pledge
Recognition tied to a named Artistic Director position at Rockford Dance Company, built through a 5-year phased commitment.
This is RDC’s most significant giving opportunity — a multi-year investment in the organization’s artistic leadership and future.
