Overview

Mission

A Community Chorus for those persons living with Dementia and their caregivers. The aim of the Joyful Voices Chorus is to serve as a resource for people in the greater Richmond, VA area in the early-to-mid stages of memory loss and their caregivers by sharing the power of music through a true choral experience in a safe environment and welcoming space. We aim to foster joy, a sense of well being, and purpose among those with memory loss as well as promote a greater community understanding of the capabilities of those with early-stage memory loss.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, Joyful Voices provided a weekly chorus for persons with dementia and their caregivers. Clients, including caregivers, numbered over 58 unique persons this year. There were over 26 weekly rehearsals and a Spring and a Fall concert for the public. The rehearsals included refreshments and social activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
