Overview

Mission

The mission of the Voices of Hope Community Chorus is to foster a caring community of singers who celebrate the joy of music and embrace hope, support, and friendship for those whose lives have been touched by breast cancer.

What it reported doing in 2025

Staged 4 concerts at which breast cancer survivors came together to sing for their community. Breast cancer survivors received a reduced fee admission at the concert. We made an award to a Chicago charity providing services to an underserved demographic.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
