DONATE TO VELOCITY TODAY
Your gift creates new dance works, sustains spaces where artists train and dream, and expands access to dance in Seattle.
Velocity accepts tax-deductible donations online directly through the link below, or let us know if you would like to donate a different way. Thank you for investing in Seattle dance!
Because of Bridge Project, I have become more clear about my purpose in this world, in the Seattle dance community, and in my art form. I am a dreamer that can often be scared of my own potential. Bridge Project was the perfect incubator to allow my dreams to flourish.
Community is genuinely built and supported at Velocity.
SFD+I is an example of what a dance festival can do at the highest level. It was reliable as a participant and is reliable now as a faculty. I can’t say I’ve experienced that anywhere else in the world.

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.

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.
