A Generous Act loves to celebrate with you…

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

Send a singing telegram to celebrate with a loved one or 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 Food Bank for New York City. By sending a singing telegram, you are not only sending joy to the recipient, you are also supporting the freelance artists who are singing and bringing food to New Yorkers facing food insecurity. To learn more about the Food Bank for New York City and the work they are doing, please visit their website HERE.

To date, we have raised over $20,000 for freelance singers, and we donated over $2,000 to The Actors Fund, a non-profit that has been a major support to the entertainment community during the Covid-19 pandemic.

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.
