Erwin H Johnson Memorial Fund

The EHJ Memorial Fund Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit corporation supporting and promoting opera in Western New York and especially the idea of a dedicated performing arts space for opera and ballet. Going into our 34th year, we are dedicated to enhancing the cultural fiber of our community with our three operatic concerts presented every year. We give grants for performances to local opera companies, and gift children tickets to local opera productions. We offer a yearly scholarship to a deserving young singer, in addition to organizing and promoting Celebrate Opera Day/Week in WNY/Ontario and Singing it Forward, our own Opera outreach educational program for children and adults. Please take a moment to read About us to see why our organization is so vital to the community. Our dedicated Board members volunteer their talents and time, and truly appreciate your generous response to help us reach our goals. Our young performers are also grateful for your generosity as they realize it is you making the difference for them and future generations.
