GIVING TUESDAY: Tuesday, December 3

Giving Tuesday, the world’s largest day of giving, is on December 3, and we humbly ask for your support.

Since 2015, KDA has been MOVING the Central Valley by using the arts to unite, inspire, and heal while promoting economic prosperity through the creative economy. We’ve been proud to support creatives while offering our community transformative programs.

On this giving day 2024, we hope you will consider donating to KDA. We are committed to providing quality experiences in 2025, and we need YOUR HELP to keep moving the San Joaquin Valley. All donations are tax-deductible and proceeds support KDA programs and services.

Can’t wait until Tuesday? We understand – we can’t wait either.  Our giving portal is NOW OPEN!

KDA Encourages YOU to GIVE. . .

“Supporting KDA is deeply personal to me because it’s about creating a world where everyone has the chance to feel seen, celebrated, and connected through dance. KDA works tirelessly to close gaps to ensure that everyone—regardless of background or resources—can experience the joy and freedom that dance offers. Dance has a unique power to bridge differences, to communicate across cultures, and to build community. KDA is dedicated to making sure that no one is left out of this experience. When you give, you’re not just supporting dance education; you’re helping to create a more inclusive world where every story matters. For me, KDA embodies what a community should be—equitable, welcoming, and rooted in the belief that every person deserves to move and create. Thank you for helping us create that space for Kern County.”

"As I reflect on the significance of this season of giving, my heart swells with gratitude for the profound impact that the Kern Dance Alliance has had on my life and our community. It is not merely an organization; it is a beacon of inspiration, a source of hope, and a testament to the transformative power of dance. I give to KDA not just with my resources, but with every beat of my heart, because within the graceful movements of dancers, I find the rhythm of our shared humanity. In every pirouette, I witness the resilience of the human spirit, and in every leap, I see the boundless possibilities that lie ahead for each and every one of us. It has given me more than just the joy of watching a performance—it has given me a sense of belonging, a community that celebrates diversity, and a platform for self-expression that transcends words. KDA is driven by a collective passion so profound that it speaks to the deepest corners of our souls, breaking down barriers and fostering connections that resonate far beyond the stage. As the season of giving approaches, I implore you to open your hearts to the beauty that KDA brings into our lives and the countless lives it touches, shapes, and elevates. KDA is not merely an alliance; it is a family of dreamers, creators, and believers. In giving to KDA, you are not merely supporting an organization; you are investing in the dreams of aspiring dancers, the cultural richness of our community, and the enduring power of art to heal and unite. This Giving Tuesday, let us join hands and dance together in the symphony of generosity. Together, we can ensure that the transformative essence of dance continues to open doors of opportunity, touch hearts, ignite passions, and foster a world where the beauty of movement knows no bounds."
