Donations can be earmarked for special programs or projects, or general support. Dancing Earth is now accepting donations through Paypal.

REQUEST FOR FUNDING
We seek financial aid and/or sponsorship from individuals and groups who support art that empowers diversity and global communications. We are an emerging collective, not a corporate entity with secured backing or foundation of revenue. We are highly disciplined professional artists with international careers who choose to devote our artistry to promote native sovereignty.

We create from the ground up, making the costumes, generating our promotional materials, and booking our concerts ourselves. Many of us come from tribal backgrounds that do not have financial security. Every dollar raised for prospective performance and touring will be utilized resourcefully for maximum impact. We seek funding for the entire group of thirteen, so that intertribal first nations may be well represented.

DANCING EARTH members are selected not only for talent, but also for ability to carry themselves with respect and discipline, healthy living, cultural values, and awareness of representation of their peoples. Sponsors can be confident that their funding will be recognized as supporting artists who are honorable and inspirational both onstage and in daily life.

CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP
