Overview
Mission
McKoy Dance Project (MDP) exists to break down barriers to access by amplifying the voices of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities through bold storytelling, community engagement, and contemporary performance. As an inclusive contemporary dance company and service organization, MDP champions opportunities for people of diverse backgrounds to connect and grow through performances, youth and adult education, artist development, and public cultural events.
What it reported doing in 2025
MDP | Gives Back is McKoy Dance Project's community impact initiative that supports nonprofit organizations and charitable causes aligned with the organization's mission and values. Through designated campaigns, partnerships, and community engagement efforts, the program directs a portion of eligible fundraising proceeds to mission-aligned nonprofit organizations while raising awareness of important social and cultural issues. The initiative strengthens collaboration among arts and community organizations and expands the organization's charitable impact beyond its artistic programming.
