Support for a New Beginning

Love music, community, and New York City? Support the Washington Heights Community Choir and help sustain this vital neighborhood arts organization!

We've been making music in Upper Manhattan since 2016. However, in early 2022, budget cuts forced the local church that founded us to end our program. Determined to continue, we re-established as an independent nonprofit, with the goal of becoming a permanent fixture in our community.

Keeping the Music Alive

Our membership dues are intentionally lower than many NYC choirs to allow for greater participation. However, they only cover about 70% of our costs. Your tax-deductible donation will keep us singing and help us expand our activities in Upper Manhattan.

Formerly Fort Washington Community Choir


Thank you to all who make our program possible.
