THE MISSION

To sustain and advance the lifelong benefits of singing by stewarding the philanthropic endowments that support the Barbershop Harmony Society.

THE VISION

To ensure a lasting philanthropic legacy that strengthens and sustains singing, music education, and community across the Barbershop Harmony Society.

We focus on three core commitments:

Stewardship

We manage and grow the endowed gifts entrusted to us, ensuring long-term sustainability.

Impact

We provide annual grants that strengthen programs in music education, leadership, community engagement, and lifelong singing.

Legacy

We support donors and BHS fundraisers in growing endowments that create enduring, multi-generational impact.

We support grantmaking in areas such as:

  • Youth singing and music education for students from middle school through college

  • Community singing programs and leadership development

  • Health and wellness initiatives that highlight the benefits of singing

  • Training and support for choral directors and music educators

  • Camps, districts, chapters, and scholarship programs across the BHS ecosystem

Harmony Foundation International believes that singing improves lives. As a supporting organization to the Barbershop Harmony Society, our role is to steward and grow the philanthropic endowments that sustain singing, education, and community across the BHS ecosystem. Through responsible investment and annual grantmaking, we help ensure that the lifelong benefits of singing remain accessible for generations to come.
