"Society of Singers benefits the health and welfare of professional singers worldwide and awards scholarships to students pursuing an education in the vocal arts. There is no union or guild that exclusively represents the rights and welfare of singers.  They are often working without medical insurance, life insurance, pension funds or residual contracts and are unable to turn to other sources for help.  SOS, established in 1984, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in California, with a chapter located in New York driven by membership and fundraising activities. Since its inception, donations from private and corporate sponsors have enabled SOS to offer comprehensive services to meet the multiple needs of professional singers internationally. Eligible applicants must have earned their primary living as professional singers for five years or more. They represent all ages, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds and all genres of performance. Any assistance is kept strictly confidential as SOS respects the pride of all singers whose talent, energy, courage and determination have a vital impact in the world of entertainment, culture and the arts. Singers are ALWAYS treated with utmost compassion and respect," explains the SOS website www.singers.org.
