We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to do what they love. That's why the Women of Note Board of Directors created the Angel Fund, to provide financial help to choristers who might not be able to fulfill the financial expectations that comes with a membership. The Angel Fund is funded by choristers and patron contributions.
