Our Life. Our Love. Set to Music.
With Your Help, We Can Sparkle -
Become a Jewel in Our Crown
Our individual donors, usually comprised of delighted audience members, are tremendous, enthusiastic supporters of the NJGMC. In addition to financial supporters, they are our advocates, cheerleaders and walking billboards who help spread the word about our musical excellence. They are truly the "Jewels in Our Crown" and our Jewel program allows us to give something back to those who have donated so generously and consistently to us. See below to find out more about the benefits of our Jewel program.

Donations may be allocated to one of three funds:
NJGMC Fund - The NJGMC Fund is essential to the Chorus. It helps us to cover expenses for music, rehearsal space, concert space, administrative costs, and to pay the trained professionals who ensure that we perform entertaining, flawless concerts that keep our audiences coming back year after year.
Ray Adams Memorial Fund - This is a scholarship fund that helps to cover dues payments and potential travel expenses of our members who would not otherwise be able to afford those costs so that they are able to participate as members of the NJGMC.*
Tony Shea Memorial Music Fund - Money allocated to this fund helps the NJGMC commission new choral works, which we debut and then are made available for use by other choruses. Audience favorite "Come Share Our Pride" was commissioned using money from the Tony Shea Memorial Music Fund.*
NJGMC is incorporated in the State of New Jersey and is classified as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization under the Internal Revenue Code. Gifts to NJGMC qualify as charitable donations and are tax deductible.
