The problem
A nearly century-old picture palace and performing arts venue facing the twin costs of maintaining operations and preserving its historic structure.
What we did
Positioned the campaign around the theatre's architectural legacy for heritage and preservation donors, mapped supporter networks to find prospects with Staten Island ties, staged events inside the theatre so donors could see the need, and ran the PR strategy that mobilized the borough.
The result
The funds to advance critical restorations, a resurgence of community pride and local giving, and a more sustainable operating model for the theatre's next act.
