The Misty Copeland Foundation is dedicated to advancing equity, access, and opportunity in the arts. Through dance, movement, and mentorship, we create pathways for individuals and communities to experience the transformative power of artistic expression — on stage, in classrooms, and throughout life.

Support from donors and partners makes this work possible. Philanthropic contributions enable the Foundation to expand access to high-quality dance education, invest in innovative programming, and reach communities that have historically been underrepresented in the arts. Together, we are building a more inclusive and sustainable future for dance.

Giving to the Foundation is an investment in possibility. It supports young dancers at pivotal moments in their development, creates meaningful engagement for adults and older populations, and strengthens communities through creativity, wellness, and cultural connection. Each contribution — regardless of size or form — plays a role in advancing our mission.

We are grateful for the many ways individuals, institutions, and organizations choose to support this work. Our approach to philanthropy is rooted in partnership, shared values, and long-term impact, ensuring that every gift helps deepen access, strengthen programs, and amplify opportunity.

Thank you for being part of the Misty Copeland Foundation community and for helping us extend the reach and impact of dance for generations to come.
