As we step into 2026, I want you to know this:
Your generosity doesn’t just fund performances. It fuels a creative ecosystem. Every gift you make helps bring emotionally charged, culturally expansive art into the world. It supports the next generation of teachers. It nurtures world-class collaborators—performers, composers, designers, filmmakers, and visual artists—who join us in creating work that speaks across borders and backgrounds.
YYDC remains a careful steward of every dollar entrusted to us. Nearly all funds we raise—through teaching, performing, grants, and donations—go directly toward paying artists, developing new work, presenting performances here and abroad, and teaching as many students as we can reach. In a landscape where resources are limited and demand for meaningful art is greater than ever, your support truly becomes an engine for creation.
If you have witnessed our growth this year—on stage, in the studio, or in the classroom—you know the real impact of your investment. I hope you will consider making a tax-deductible donation to YYDC so we can continue building, teaching, performing, and inspiring.
