“She would absolutely LOVE being a part of First Position this year, but we just can’t swing the cost right now”
We’ve received numerous responses just like this one from parents with eager students who have a desire to join our program, only to have something as simple as money be the roadblock that takes that opportunity away from them.
This year, we aim to support 22 new students starting in January 2025, but we currently lack the necessary funds to offer scholarships to those in need. The cost of a student joining our program for one year is between $680-$900. Our goal is to raise $20,000 to cover these scholarships.
Every Student.
Our young people are up against some of the most challenging and heartbreaking situations from gender identity, to social pressure, toxic and ungodly teachings on social media, and many parents don’t know where to turn for help. What this generation needs is biblical worldview discipleship, quality like-minded friendships and a place to strengthen their faith in order to stand firm in a dark world. We believe First Position is a place to do that.
However, we face a pressing challenge. Many students are eager to join our program but simply cannot afford the financial commitment. This is where your support can make a profound difference. We believe that Every Student deserves the chance to grow in faith, learn to worship the Lord through dance, and be a part of a strong community, regardless of their financial situation.

This year, we aim to support 22 new students starting in January 2025, but we currently lack the necessary funds to offer scholarships to those in need. The cost of a student joining our program for one year is between $680-$900. Our goal is to raise $20,000 to cover these scholarships. Will you consider committing at least $100 a month or a one time gift of $1,200 to help us provide this vital support?
In effort to reach this goal, we have generous individuals that will be matching gifts up to $10,000. Gifts of $200 or more will qualify and be matched by our donors. If you give $100 a month or a one time gift of $1,200, your gift will be matched as well. Together, we believe we will be able to reach our goal of $20,000 by the end of the year.
Your contribution not only empowers these students but also offers you a tangible benefit: your donation is eligible for year-end tax deductions. Also your generosity can create opportunities for young dancers to flourish in their faith and artistry, bringing the Gospel to life through their movements.

Yes! A win-win! After you’ve donated, we will sending you a tax deduction letter at the beginning of the new year!

If you feel led to make an even greater impact, consider becoming a monthly donor. Joining our exclusive donor team, known as The Dream Team, allows you to be part of fulfilling the vision God has given us: training dancers in worship dance, discipling them in His Word, and launching them into our community as strong, God-fearing servants.
As a member of The Dream Team, you’ll receive two complimentary tickets to our spring performance, along with a special Q&A session with our founder, the board, and our staff. This is a unique opportunity to hear firsthand about the impact of your contributions and get a behind-the-scenes look at our ministry, as well as a personal thank you for the impact you are making in allowing us to continue our work. .

When you give to our Giving Tuesday campaign, your gift can be doubled — but only if it’s $200 or more! 🎉
Thanks to a generous matching donors, every gift of $200 or more will be matched dollar-for-dollar, meaning your $200 donation can become $400! This is an incredible way to make an even bigger impact and help us reach our $20,000 goal!
However, if your donation is less than $200, it won’t be matched, but it will still make a difference! Every contribution, no matter the amount, is vital to supporting students in need of scholarships.
💡 So here’s how it works:
Give $200 → It becomes $400!
Give less than $200 → Your full amount will still help, but it won’t be matched.
We only get the matched gifts based on the total amount we raise, so the more we raise, the more we can unlock for our students. Let’s make this a powerful Giving Tuesday and reach our $20,000 goal — together! 💖
Thank you for being part of this special opportunity to double your impact. Donate today and help us bring these scholarships to life! 🙏
