Businesses, corporations, and organizations making annual gifts to Texas Ballet Theater can qualify to underwrite the Texas Ballet Theater season, a particular production, one aspect of a production such as sets & costumes, education/outreach activities, or a special event. In addition to Patron Circle courtesies, underwriters receive multiple forms of recognition in Texas Ballet Theater marketing and publicity materials, in program books, on-site recognition, as well as additional special opportunities.
Underwriting from businesses, corporations, individuals, and organizations
is an essential and growing component of the Texas Ballet Theater financial
structure. It is only successful when a “win – win” relationship
develops between the underwriter and Texas Ballet Theater. If you wish to
