Fiscal Sponsorship & Mentorship
We provide access to funding resources for emerging dance artists and companies.
Dance New Jersey serves as the fiscal sponsor to accepted individual dance artists and companies who do not yet have 501(c)3 status. The artists temporarily utilize Dance New Jersey’s non-profit status to solicit charitable donations, while receiving professional mentorship.
Participating Artists Currently Include:
Altar Dance Worship
Altar Dance Worship’s mission is rooted in the belief that artistic expression through dance can deepen one’s spiritual connection and bring people closer to their faith. We are committed to providing opportunities for individuals to worship through movement, fostering creativity, community, and spiritual growth. Our goal is to use dance as a tool for transformation, healing, and outreach, empowering people to express their faith in dynamic ways.
iDance Ministry
iDance Ministry’s mission is to educate, elevate, and impact the world through dance. iDance transforms local, state, and international communities by using dance as a catalyst for change. Our programs improve the quality of life in communities, raise awareness of mental health, addiction, and neurodivergence, and provide inclusive, multidisciplinary arts engagement.
