Overview

Mission

Sing for your seniors enriches lives through the universal language of music by bringing professional artists to the communities of seniors in need to entertain, foster connection and create shared joy.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, Sing For Your Seniors (SFYS) completed its 21st season Community In Concert, by providing live, professional music performances to senior communities across New York City. The initiative focused on increasing community connection, by partnering with other arts organizations and senior-serving nonprofits. During the year, SFYS served 15 senior centers and delivered 68 live performance sessions. Each session consisted of a one-hour interactive musical program led by professional singers and pianists, designed to encourage participation and social engagement. SFYS served diverse senior populations, including low-income elders, LGBTQ+ seniors, veterans, individuals living with dementia or Alzheimer's, and those in palliative or rehabilitative care. SFYS addressed access barriers by supplying keyboards and sound equipment to centers lacking the financial means through its Piano Placement Project. In 2025, SFYS launched a new partnership with The Metropolitan Opera Chorus members to

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 75% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
