Individual Donor Letter
Zaccho Dance Theatre
Individual Donor Letter
Project details
What we need
- A concise, well-articulated letter (not exceeding two pages) to request funds from individual donors
Additional details
We need strong language to include with our year-end appeal
What we have in place
- We currently have 2500 person email list, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have set goals for 2020 fundraising, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,140 , allowing us to fund Teaching Artists that work directly within our youth programming!
Zaccho is entering its 40th Anniversary season in 2020, but has not met our preliminary fundraising goals for 2019. We have a strong email list, but have not yet successfully built an individual donor base.

Our mission
Zaccho Dance Theatre creates and presents performance work that investigates dance as it relates to place.
What we do
Since our founding in 1980, Zaccho has been an innovative force in both the world of dance and our home community of Bayview Hunter's Point, San Francisco's African American Arts & Cultural District. Artistic Director Joanna Haigood and collaborators pursue unique and challenging visions of dance, including spectacular aerial choreography, evocative site-specific performances, and culturally significant subject matter. Zaccho opens the door to creative expression for a diverse group of artists, and elevates it to works of international acclaim.
Zaccho draws inspiration from social histories including the African-American experience, and returns it to the community through inclusive youth programs, adult classes, artist-in-residence programs, and a one-of-a-kind aerial arts festival, many at low or no-cost to participants. As a longstanding nonprofit program, we pride ourselves on maintaining our artistic integrity, social consciousness, and community involvement.
