Annual Fund
Help to sustain Jacob’s Pillow and continue our historic legacy!
As the largest and longest-running dance festival in the U.S., Jacob’s Pillow has always been a haven for artists. In our beginnings, we operated primarily in the summer with a dynamic, world class Festival that welcomed artists from around the world and provided training to the next generation of dancers at the School of Jacob’s Pillow. We have grown to a year-round institution that engages local communities and students through dance, preserves and digitizes dance through our acclaimed Archives, and offers digital programs that connect audiences around the world to Jacob’s Pillow.
Donations to the Annual Fund provide artists with resources, time, and space to create new work and refine their artistic voice, while ensuring an equitable wage. Click on the link below to support the Annual fund today!

What is the Annual Fund?

Can I make a Membership and Annual Fund Donation at the same time?
Yes! Just add both donations to your cart and then check out.
Why do I have to make an account?
It’s important to make an account so the Pillow can ensure that your donation, ticket orders, and other activities you may participate in are recorded properly in our system. Once your account is created you will be able to login whenever you wish to donate, purchase tickets, or RSVP to an event.
