Transforming together

The Australian Ballet Foundation Board is a sub-committee of the Board comprising volunteer community leaders and philanthropists who are united in their efforts to expand and enrich the support network around the Ballet.

Established in 2011, the Foundation Board exists to attract, encourage and honour acts of generosity by creating and nurturing relationships that will be beneficial to the future success of the company.

Its members have been instrumental in cultivating the necessary support to help The Australian Ballet weather recent storms and continue to thrive as a national cultural leader.
