About Us

Sing for America (SFA) is a not-for-profit organization focused on supporting the performing arts in our communities. We believe that music enriches the lives of all people, and the musical arts – whether high school glee clubs, orchestra camps, community choruses, music in the schools – all are a vital part of the musical community. It’s no secret that funding for all arts programs is dwindling, and SFA’s goal is to support the arts in America.

Sing for America’s primary strategy is to use the arts to fund the arts – raising money through member–supported, volunteer–performed benefit concerts. The inaugural performance was held on April 17, 2012, in San Francisco’s historic Herbst Theater. In exchange for world–class choral training and fundraising support, SFA members helped raise money to support the musical arts in our communities. Much like other activity-based fundraising efforts (marathons, walk–thons), SFA helps people raise funds through singing.

Unlike other organizations, SFA allows members to influence where their contributions go – half of the money raised by each member goes directly to the organization of their choosing. The other half is distributed by SFA to other similar organizations chosen by our board of directors. Our operating expenses are supported by institutional gifts, so one hundred percent of contributions raised by our members is given to non-profits.

• Get intensive vocal and choral training from world-class conductors
• Sing alongside professionals from the SF Opera and SF Symphony Chorus
