A Generous Act loves to connect you with others…

No matter the occasion, we've got a song to sing.

Send a singing telegram to let someone know you’re thinking of them, whether in celebration or solidarity or to bring someone cheer.

All telegrams are received over the old-fashioned telephone.

ABOUT US

Since its inception in December 2020, A Generous Act has taken great pride in employing arts workers whose livelihoods were profoundly affected by the coronavirus. And while our service was dreamt up as a healing response to the isolation and financial challenges faced as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic, we are delighted to continue the beautiful work of sparking joy and connection with a song as we emerge from isolation and return to hugs, travel and live theatre.

We are currently donating 10% of all proceeds to the World Central Kitchen, a non-profit providing meals to communities in need, including those in Los Angeles devastated by wildfires. By sending a singing telegram, you are not only sending joy to the recipient, you are also supporting the freelance artists who are singing as well as providing meals to those in need.

To learn more about the World Central Kitchen and the work they are doing, please visit their website HERE.

To date, we have raised over $25,000 for freelance singers and have donated over $2500 to The Actors Fund and Food Bank for New York City.

WHAT DO YOU RECEIVE WITH YOUR TELEGRAM PURCHASE:

  • We pride ourselves in having professional singers who have performed across the country from Broadway to LA and world stages beyond.

  • Your recipient will receive a phone call at the time you request. If they don't answer, we'll contact you immediately so you can encourage them to answer their phone. We've found that we have more successful connections when you've given the recipient advance notice of "a special call".

  • Within 24 hours after the phone call, you and your recipient will receive the headshot and resume of the singer who performed for you.
