Natural State Performing Arts Educational Program

Breaking down barriers to arts education in the Ozarks

Pointe Shoe Fund - Scholarships and Equipment

We're here to bring performing arts training to everyone, and we need your help to do it. From children that dance through their ballet slippers to pre-professional ballerinas that need help paying for class, your donation opens doors for artists in Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri. Bringing these two communities together requires humility and generosity in equal measure, and our mission is to lift up the entire area, using the performing arts to instill these values in our students.

FAQs

Is my donation tax-deductible?
Natural State Performing Arts Educational Program is a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a 501(c)(3) charity. Contributions made payable to Fractured Atlas for the purposes of Natural State Performing Arts Educational Program are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. If you receive a reward in exchange for your donation, the fair market value of that reward will reduce the tax-deductible portion of your donation. The value of the reward you receive will be included in your donation receipt.
What is the processing fee? Do I have to pay it?
Fractured Atlas assesses a 8% administrative fee on all donations. This fee covers all administrative costs—including website maintenance, credit card processing, staff time, and bank fees. It’s completely up to you whether or not you’d like to cover the fee. If you choose not to, it will be subtracted from Natural State Performing Arts Educational Program's revenue.
Will I be charged right away for my donation?
Yes. Fractured Atlas will immediately charge the card entered at the time your donation is made.
What personal information will be shared publicly or with the fundraiser?
