By building on the core experience of accomplishment and collaboration, the Project fosters a sense of inclusion in a place where the children belong and where their creative work is the driving force. Through long-term mentoring relationships and exposure to diverse art forms (including Poetry, Photography, Theatrical Design, Dance, and Filmmaking), the Project seeks to expand the children's means of expression and to improve their literacy, their life skills and their attitude towards learning. false false 1854149 25000 179185 Highlights from 2023-2024 include: The implementation of our WellBeing initiative, which saw the Project expand the role of our Clinical Consultant to supervise and guide our staff and teen members through various crises, delivering the quality of mental health services necessary to match our community's current need. The individual and collective trauma for our young people resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic has underscored the need to expand this work by integrating clinical mental health services into the fabric of the organization. 100% of our senior class graduated from high school and 25 alumni enrolled in college and will be receiving $1,000 scholarships as part of our Ron Black Memorial Scholarship Fund. The Project engaged over 160 young people in Hell's kitchen in FY24 and saw 2,081 attendees at our productions (with an additional 1,211 unique viewers watching the live stream from home) celebrating the work created by and featuring our young people. 1854149 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 37 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false X 21 19 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NY X X CAROL OCHS 2123335252 789 10TH AVENUE NEW YORK NY 10019 Carol Ochs EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.0 0.0 X X 132390 0 12410 Natalie Hirsch Artistic Director 40.0 0.0 X X 110826 0 10663 John Sheehy Director of Development 40.0 0.0 X 100529 0 10663 Cathy Dantchik Co-Chair 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Louis Friedman Co-Chair 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Noel Mihalow Board Member 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Mark Whatley Treasurer 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Lisa Benavides Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Rachel Chanoff Board member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 CAROLYN C DESENA Board Member 0.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Alexandra Gersten-Vassilaros Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Robert Goldberg Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Stephen Graham Chairperson Emeritus 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Annie Hausmann Board member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Valerie Kay Audit Committee Chair 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Michah Kroeze Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Margaret Odette Board member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Willie Reale Board member/Founder 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 shirley Rumierk board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jose Soto Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Wendy Vanden Heuval Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Korey Jackson BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 343745 0 33736 3 false false false 0 283824 85000 878952 17736 1247776 THEATRE RENTAL INCOME 532000 197887 197887 0 197887 269945 269945 0 0 0 0 0 6102155 6769828 -667673 -667673 -667673 87221 283824 87221 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 7363 7363 7363 1055298 205250 0 -397728 0 25000 25000 0 0 374373 294700 40524 39149 0 667329 577763 37951 51615 0 67790 60290 3445 4055 77408 65022 5655 6731 0 0 101161 64467 33764 2930 0 0 47600 47600 88790 56583 29635 2572 13823 4143 5898 3782 32147 22508 7279 2360 0 0 148027 133225 7401 7401 0 0 0 4194 4194 0 433795 390415 21690 21690 71518 64366 3576 3576 TOURING TRAVEL, HOUSING 26086 24643 167 1276 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 39161 35244 1958 1959 SECURITY 19084 17176 954 954 OTHER EXPENSES 39910 18604 18178 3128 5000 5000 2282196 1854149 274869 153178 X 123842 185657 127020 582985 173678 42475 32812 78005 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 50469 23465 15454471 6267574 9549696 9186897 5762129 6084613 626630 0 0 0 0 0 2187104 2181575 18633380 18365672 104503 146218 0 0 15000 25000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 148417 150000 2187104 2181575 2455024 2502793 X 15664764 15245143 513592 617736 16178356 15862879 18633380 18365672 -1226898 911421 X X false true X true false X 1067034 1096206 1338075 1022793 1247776 5771884 0 0 1067034 1096206 1338075 1022793 1247776 5771884 308264 5463620 306254 302252 370392 419920 269945 1668763 0 2960 864 7973 6889 7363 26049 7466696 637 0.73173 0.73557 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 397736 397736 397736 397736 397736 397736 397736 397736 14299256 5799075 8500181 829149 336262 492887 326065 132236 193829 9186897 CAPITAL LEASE 2181575 2181575 0 CAPITAL LEASE PAYABLE 2181575 2181575 X 1919119 911421 911421 1007698 47600 47600 1055298 2234596 2234596 47600 47600 2282196 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES IT HAS APPROPRIATE SUPPORT FOR ANY TAX POSITIONS TAKEN, AND AS SUCH, DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.
