Establish your dance legacy with a planned gift to Colorado Ballet!

create your LEGACY with us

Colorado Ballet is deeply grateful to the donors who have chosen to include our organization in their estate plans. Their inspiring gifts help shape the future of dance in Colorado and beyond! We are honored to play a part in the legacies of our supporters. In recognition of such thoughtful commitments, we have formed the Colorado Ballet Legacy Society. 

The Legacy Society is a group of generous individuals who have decided to maximize their support of Colorado Ballet through an estate gift such as inclusion in a will or beneficiary designation. Legacy Society members come from all walks of life and are bound by the common belief that dance is an essential part of our community. Their estate commitment will likely be the largest gift they make and will solidify the legacy they built over a lifetime!
