School Outreach Program

Pt IX · col B
02

Send Children to the Theater

This program shares the beauty of classical ballet and the theatre experience by inviting less fortunate children through government subsidized organizations in fresno, clovis, visalia andtulare. Since 2000, vpac has invited over 13,000 less fortunate children to the theater through this program.

Public Performances

Vpac charges schools 5.00 per student, and tries to keep fees as low as possible to reach as many students as possible. School fees, however, are not enough to cover production costs; therefore ticket sales from public performances serve as a fundraiser to cover the cost of the school programs.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
