GraceNote Collective is an inclusive community gospel choir in the Chicago area, launched in 2026 to celebrate the tradition of gospel music while bringing together singers and audiences of all backgrounds in shared worship and community.

The Inaugural Season Launch is a one-time campaign to raise startup funds for our first season, allowing us to begin from a place of strength and focus on building community and artistic excellence. Contributions will support our initial startup expenses, including:

Rehearsal and performance space
Lead musician and accompanist costs
Essential equipment and supplies
Legal and administrative startup expenses

There are different perks at each giving level - get your SWAG on!✨ We invite you to give at whatever level feels comfortable. "Season Sponsor" giving level and above can also be used to promote a business or organization. All physical giveaway items will be given to the referring choir or board member for distribution.

Donor Recognition & Tax Information

Donors may choose recognition only in lieu of any physical giveaway items if they wish.
