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!

You can also make a gift In Honor Of or In Memory Of a special person. Know that your support will help the Pillow sustain its mission and advance the field of dance.

Why do I have to make an account?
