About GRAND RAPIDS WOMENS CHORUS

The Grand Rapids Women’s Chorus (GRWC) is a volunteer, donor-facing 501(c)(3) choral organization based in Grand Rapids, Michigan that presents season concerts, commissions new works by women composers, and engages the community through educational and advocacy-oriented programming.

According to recent public filings, the chorus operates on a modest budget (FY ending June 2024 reported revenue ~$97K, expenses ~$108K, net assets around $92K) and sustains operations through a combination of contributions, ticket sales, commissions, and sponsorships.
