It is through the generosity and thoughtfulness of our many donors that The School of Dance, a registered Canadian charity, is able to accomplish our mission to foster education in the art of dance and to reach out into the community with programmes such as our special projects for learners with Down syndrome, the elderly and long-term hospital residents.

There are many ways to support The School of Dance. The School accepts gifts in the form of cash, cheques, credit card payments, publicly traded securities, and in-kind gifts. Recent in-kind gifts have included an automobile, a piano, silver service, antiques, fine jewellery, artwork. Sales receipts or valuations of the item being donated are necessary to complete the process and then The School either uses the gifts or sells them. Donors of in-kind gifts promptly receive a tax receipt for the assessed value of the item.
