Individual support allows the Joe Goode Performance Group to create and present outstanding dance in our hometown, as well as on tour throughout the world. Through our Goode Friends program, hundreds of our supporters contribute unrestricted gifts that help us sustain a world-class dance company and a training ground for up-and-coming professional dancers.

One of the rewards of making a charitable gift to a nonprofit organization is seeing that your gift makes a difference. The impact of your gift to Joe Goode Performance Group is as evident as the skill and passion in our work. Individual contributions provide critical, unrestricted operating support. Ticket sales, teaching and touring fees cover only 59% of our annual operating costs; the balance is raised from our community of donors. That is why we ask you to help sustain the artistic excellence of Joe Goode Performance Group.

JGPG has been successful in obtaining foundation support (learn more about our individual and foundation supporters: Goode Friends). While this funding remains strong, many foundations are dealing with reduced assets. Government funding is also in a downtrend, with CAC grants slashed dramatically and local granting agencies facing their own budget shortfalls.

Joe Goode Performance Group has demonstrated sound fiscal management, generating several seasons of surplus that will help it negotiate these difficult economic times. Your 100% tax-deductible gift will assist us in meeting today's demands and also ensure a successful and vital future for Joe Goode Performance Group.
