I am the director of the Washington Heights Community Choir, and I'm helping raise funds to support the choir's 2026 operating costs.

WHCC is a vibrant, diverse, and welcoming community chorus in Upper Manhattan. We're passionate about singing together and believe in music's power to spread joy and strengthen community bonds.

When Fort Washington Collegiate Church closed its doors in May we lost our home and our free rehearsal space. We have secured a new home, but our operating budget has increased substantially.

Our primary source of funding comes from membership dues which are intentionally low to allow for greater participation. However, they now only cover about 60% of our costs.

Here’s how your tax-deductible donation can help:

\* $8 covers a ream of copy paper - and we use a LOT

\* $10 covers the cost of a complete music packet for one member of our choir

\* $20 covers the cost to host our website for a month.

\* $50 covers the cost of our website domain name for the year.

\* $80 covers the cost of one box of copy paper.

\* $100 covers the cost of our liability insurance for one month.

\* $120 covers the cost of our accompanist for one rehearsal.

\* $150 covers the cost to tune our piano

\* $225 covers the cost of rental space for one rehearsal.

Every donation, large or small, will help us keep singing in 2026.

Thank you so much for your support!

Help our community choir keep singing in 2026!

We're a no-audition, adult community chorus, created for those who love to sing in Upper Manhattan. 

ABOUT THE CHOIR
WHCC is a no-audition community choir, one of a handful in NYC and the only one serving Upper Manhattan. We're a lively, diverse, and welcoming group that loves to sing and believes in the power of music to spread joy and build community!

BUILDING A LASTING FOUNDATION
Founded by a local church in 2016, we disbanded in May 2022 due to budget cuts but quickly regrouped and reestablished the choir as an independent nonprofit. Now two years strong, we aim to become a lasting part of our community.

HELP KEEP THE MUSIC ALIVE
Choir membership dues cover about 70% of our expenses. Your donation helps bridge the gap, supporting our Choir Director, accompanist, music licensing, marketing, space rental, insurance, and other administrative needs. 

With your help, we can keep singing and grow our presence in Upper Manhattan!
