Giving Tuesday

IN SUPPORT OF THE NEXT GENERATION OF CIRCUS ARTISTS 

 

GivingTuesday is now over, but it is still time to donate.

DONATE NOW

GivingTuesday is now over. The School and its Foundation would like to thank all donors for their donation. Thanks to you, we have largely exceeded our goal and raised $13,413 in individual and corporative donations. The funds raised will help our students through our grants program. Thank you for your incredible support for the next generation of circus artists! 

Why Donate? 

The National Circus School Foundation offers a generous grants program that benefits nearly 25% of its students annually. As part of GivingTuesday, the Foundation is raising funds for these grants, which help students pay their tuition fees and support themselves. GivingTuesday marks the launch of the annual campaign, and our goal is to raise an initial $1,500. 
 
This year more than ever, the grants program is vitally important to our students’ academic perseverance. With the pandemic impacting much more than just the circus arts industry, students are facing financial insecurity and an uncertain future, in addition to a considerable psychological burden. This economic instability jeopardizes the continuation of their studies in one of the best circus schools in the world.
 

How does my donation help?

The money raised will allow talented youths to finish out their school year and make their dream of becoming a circus artist come true! 
 
Your donations on GivingTuesday contribute to the National Circus School Foundation's grants program for students in need. Your donations are all the more important this year because, although the health crisis has an immediate impact on students, its impacts will most likely continue to be felt well into the future. 
 
With your support, all talented students will have access to high-level training!

« Graduating from the National Circus School changed my life! I learned much more than physical skills, qualities such as teamwork, respect and compassion. And to be disciplined and take joy all along the road to success. None of this would have been possible without the Foundation’s support. I attribute my current success to their support, for which I am very grateful. »
