CAMPAIGN SUMMARY:
Synergy: Every Step. Every Story. Moving Forward: The primary objective of this Annual campaign is to establish a strong foundation for continued endowment growth, providing long-term stability and ensuring NDEO can continue advancing dance education for years to come.

As dancers know well, after 5,6,7,8 comes ONE. Every year, the NDEO "ONE" Annual campaign is the primary giving campaign to support our endowment. Your gift, big or small, contributes to a number of positive outcomes, ultimately maintaining the momentum of our membership-based organization, and trickling down into impacting the lives of dance students across the country.

This campaign seeks to highlight:

Long-term sustainability and organizational strength.
The power of collective giving—every gift matters.
Honoring the foundation built by those before us while empowering today's educators and creating opportunities for tomorrow.
NDEO's Core Values, particularly community, collaboration, and stewardship.
The idea of "reaching back to lift others up," ensuring today's investment creates opportunities for the next generation of dance educators.

RAFFLE OPPORTUNITY
Making any size gift of $25 or more automatically enters you into our raffle! ($25 = 1x ticket, $50 = 2x tickets, and beyond).
Raffle winners do not need to be present at the Raffle Selection at the Annual Conference to be a winner!

STRATEGY
Our initial fundraising goal is intentionally modest, reflecting the Development Committee's early stage of growth, the campaign is designed to build momentum year over year. We envision increasing the campaign goal by approximately $10,000 annually, culminating in a $50,000 campaign during NDEO's 2028 milestone celebration.
