Our Supporters

We have a Voice because of your support

One Voice is a unique 501(c)(3) organization in Charlotte—distinct from other art groups in its dedicated LGBTQIA+ affirmation, and unique among queer organizations in its ability to speak to people through music. Our mission is to increase understanding and acceptance of LGBTQIA+ people, and our music entertains, inspires, connects, and fosters positive change.

Your financial support is critical

More than half our annual income is provided by generous individual and business supporters like you. We strive to constrain costs and cover production costs with ticket sales, grants, and dues from our chorus members. But to keep the mission and message alive, One Voice Chorus depends on the support of generous donors like you. Your financial contribution makes it possible for our organization to continue touching hearts and changing lives.

In addition to individual giving, corporate donations, and sponsorships, we also accept other strategies of giving including DAFs, Matching Gifts (click here for the list of NC Companies with Matching Programs), and Legacy Giving. To learn more about any of these opportunities and make a tax-deductible contribution to One Voice Chorus, please reach out to Micah Deer, Executive Director, at 980-220-2435 or Executive.Director@onevoicechorus.com.

Thank you so much for considering a gift to support the mission of One Voice Chorus and our LGBTQIA+ artistry. Together, we Sing as One.
