Much of Velocity’s impact is not easily measured by numbers. We’re building networks and investing in relationship-building over time. Still, there are many ways we use data year-on-year to affirm that our programs have the intended impact on Seattle-based artists + audiences.

OTHER WAYS TO GIVE

Matching Gifts

Velocity relies on direct donations to fund over 50% of our programming, and matching gifts are a great way to double or triple your impact. Velocity currently receives matching gifts from businesses and corporations like Expedia, Microsoft, Dell, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Nordstoms (including volunteer time matches), through the Seattle and King County employee giving programs and more. If you would like more information on matching gifts, please contact erin@velocitydancecenter.org.

Donor Advised Funds

When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to a donor-advised fund at a public charity, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction through your donor advised fund. These funds can be invested for tax-free growth and you can recommend grants to be directed to Velocity Dance Center. Common Donor Advised Funds include the Seattle Foundation, Fidelity Charitable, and more. Please contact our Development Director here or Executive Director here for more information.

GIfts of Stock

We accept gifts of stock through our Schwab One Account. Please contact erin@velocitydancecenter.org for more information.

Corporate + Event Sponsorship

Corporate and event sponsorships range from $500 $10,000 and help support Velocity’s seasons and artist services. Our main events include our annual fundraising BASH, and our Fall Kick-Off celebrations. Your company’s name and logo will be featured at the event and programming collateral throughout the season. Please contact erin@velocitydancecenter.org if you would like to sponsor one of Velocity’s signature events.
