“What Sing for Hope does is wonderfully simple. It maintains a roster
of compassionate, world-class artists who donate time and talent to the
humanitarian causes that inspire them.”
Dr. Muhammad Yunus
Sing for Hope Board Member and 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
Our Mission
Founded by opera singers with a desire to lift their voices for social change, Sing for Hope is a non-profit organization that mobilizes a corps of over 500 professional artists (from classical musicians to ballet dancers to Broadway performers) in high-impact volunteer service programs that benefit communities in need. Our three volunteer programs are:
Gala Arts
Specially designed benefit concerts that raise awareness and
funds for vital humanitarian causes
- Informance Arts
Educational outreach initiatives for underserved children
- Healing Arts
In-hospital performances that complement the healing process
Each
Sing for Hope project is defined by the volunteerism of professional
artists and our belief in the transformative power of the performing
arts.
