Gifts to the Annual Fund ensure CTFD's ability to maintain and enrich existing services, as well as develop new and innovative programs on behalf of an ever-increasing roster of dancer-clients. Every contribution to the Annual Fund works hard to ensure the availability of expert career-counseling, educational scholarships, workshops and seminars, a telephone hotline and website, as well as comprehensive reference materials.

Dancer-clients come to CTFD from more than 40 companies nationwide, as well as from Broadway and off-Broadway musicals, Las Vegas shows, industrials, and the television and film industries. The exceptional accomplishments of CTFD's clients reflect the diversity of the dance-community-at-large and the wealth of talent among its members. CTFD's clients have gone on to pursue - and establish - successful careers in "A-to-Z" professions that include, but are not limited to: advertising; agriculture; architecture, environmental and landscape design; arts-management; art, music and occupational therapies; aviation; bridal consulting; career-counseling; catering; civil, electrical, and recording engineering; computer technology/graphic and web design; corporate job training; costume, lighting, and set design; dance education and history; primary, secondary, and higher education; electroneurodiagnostic technology; event-planning; fashion; film-making; film/music composing; finance; firefighting and paramedic certification; horticulture/floral design; foreign language translation; forestry; fund-raising; hair design and cosmetology; interior design; international relations; journalism; law; marine biology; physical therapies such as reflexology, massage techniques, personal training, Pilates, Yoga, the Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais Method, gyrotonics, and aquatic training; medicine; performers' employment agency; pet care; photography; psychology; publishing; real estate; social work; stage management; television and theatre direction and production; theology; violin restoration; and zoology. Along the way to the fulfillment of their goals, clients recognize the importance of giving back and are among CTFD's most loyal supporters.

For those who value the inspiring contributions that dancers make to our society as performers, CTFD's Annual Fund offers a meaningful and tax-deductible way to support their transition efforts in anticipation of "life after dance." To this end, every gift - regardless of size - is essential. In fact, contributions to the Annual Fund account for approximately forty-five percent of CTFD's total budget each year.

Through enthusiastic and knowledgeable donor participation, Career Transition For Dancers can look forward to making a lasting impact on the lives of dancers, nationwide, now and in the future. To this end, it is with heartfelt gratitude that CTFD thanks its many good friends for their thoughtful and ongoing generosity.
