Circle of One - Supporting Artists for 30 years!

The Circle of One Fund is a non-profit, 501c3 born of and linked to the legendary work of the New York Songwriters Circle.

For over thirty years the New York Songwriters Circle has provided a platform, using monthly “in the round” listening showcases and engaging the industry’s top entertainment talent, for bringing great original songs to the public. NYSC has welcomed some of the country's best-known artists and songwriters while continuing to highlight outstanding new songwriters - perhaps tomorrow’s greatest stars.

The pandemic and the current economy have made it harder than ever for the New York Songwriter Circle to pursue its mission. Our team consists of volunteers and friends who provide their services at a low cost.

The vision of the Not-for-Profit Circle of One Fund is to extend the work of the New York Songwriters Circle — offering stipends to the most talented young songwriters to focus on and continue their work. In the footsteps of initiatives such as the MacArthur Genius Awards, these stipends are an investment in the talent and potential of young writers and in securing the foundation of the industry.

Your fully tax-deductible donation will go towards ensuring that the New York Songwriters Circle is able to continue its work of promoting emerging talent through our monthly live performances as well by offering stipends to artists who qualify.
