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!

REBUILDING OUR FOUNDATION
Established in 2016 by a local church, we were disbanded in May 2022 due to budget challenges. A resilient bunch, we quickly regrouped and reestablished ourselves as a sustainable, standalone nonprofit. We've been on our feet for nearly a year and are determined to remain standing for years to come!

HELP KEEP THE MUSIC ALIVE
We are supported mainly by choir member dues, but they only cover about 2/3 of our expenses. Money raised will help fill the gap, and go toward paying our Choir Director, accompanist, music licensing, marketing and other administrative costs.

Your donation will keep us singing and help us expand our activities in upper Manhattan!

Washington Heights Community Choir operates as a project of Players Philanthropy Fund, a Maryland charitable trust recognized by IRS as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Federal Tax ID: 27-6601178, ppf.org/pp). Contributions to Washington Heights Community Choir qualify as tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Washington Heights Community Choir has been such an important cornerstone in my life since 2021. I am so happy and proud to say we have weathered some pretty tough challenges, including disbandment and losing our sponsorship but we were able to regroup to become the independent entity we are today. We still very much could use YOUR help to stay that way. Our story is as follows: WHCC is a no-audition community choir in Upper Manhattan.
