Bequests

The Foundation is primarily set up to receive bequests, so that they may be invested in perpetuity and used to ensure that today’s budding dancers can dream of representing New Zealand on the world stage, and that tomorrow’s audiences will enjoy international talent right here at home.

We are honoured to recognise the individuals who have left a bequest with the Ballet Foundation. We also gratefully acknowledge those individuals and families who have let us know that they will leave a bequest in the future. We are happy to acknowledge these people in their lifetime.
