FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: PROSPECTS, OPPORTUNITY AND ENRICHMENT, INC. (POE), THE 501(C)(3) NON-PROFIT OPERATING THE PROSPECTOR THEATER IS DEDICATED TO PROVIDING MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT, JOB TRAINING AND OPPORTUNITIES TO ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES. POE CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTS ITS' MISSION THROUGH THE OPERATION OF A FIRST-RUN MOVIE THEATER IN THE HEART OF HISTORIC RIDGEFIELD, CONNECTICUT AND IS WORKING TO EXPAND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES OUTSIDE OF THE MOVIE THEATER AS WELL. WITH AN EYE ON EXPANSION, POE'S MODEL CAN BE APPLIED TO OTHER INDUSTRIES AS WELL, EACH OFFERING ROBUST EMPLOYMENT, TRAINING AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES). OUR EMPLOYEES, KNOWN AS PROSPECTS, LIVE A HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT AND ARE ENCOURAGED TO SPARKLE, SHINE AND TURN THEIR PASSIONS INTO PROFESSIONS. PROSPECTS WORKED HARD ENGAGING MOVIEGOERS, DELIVERING EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, LEADING STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS IN SERVICE LEARNING ACTIVITIES, AND LEARNING NEW VOCATIONAL SKILLS! OUR OBSERVATION THAT "WORKING IS WORKING" SHINES LIKE A BRIGHT LIGHT, ILLUMINATING THE PATH TO A MORE INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE, AND THROUGH OUR OPERATIONS WE DEMONSTRATE HOW IT CAN BE DONE. WITH AN 83% UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AMONG ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES, THERE IS AN ENORMOUS BURDEN ON THE HEALTH, WELLNESS, AND FINANCES OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND THEIR GOVERNMENT. IN FACT, IT IS ESTIMATED THAT OVER 42 MILLION PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ARE UNABLE TO FIND EMPLOYMENT. THE WORK WE DO IS GREATLY NEEDED TO FIGHT THIS EPIDEMIC. THE PROSPECTOR CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AND DOCUMENT BEST PRACTICES AND OPERATING PROCEDURES THAT MAKE OUR PROSPECTS SUCCESSFUL AND OUR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES EXTRAORDINARY. EMPLOYERS AND EDUCATORS NEED STRATEGIES TO PROMOTE POSITIVE MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES FOR ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES SO THEY TOO CAN BENEFIT FROM INCLUDING UNDERREPRESENTED TALENT IN THEIR WORKFORCE. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: ADAPTING WORK FROM HOME ON MARCH 13TH, 2020, THE PROSPECTOR CLOSED ITS DOORS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE OUR GRAND OPENING IN NOVEMBER 2014. ALTHOUGH OUR PROJECTORS WENT DARK, WE BELIEVED IT VITAL TO CONTINUE OUR MISSION OF MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. ALL 133 PROSPECTS WERE KEPT ON THE PAYROLL AS THEY WORKED FROM HOME FOR 96 DAYS. PROSPECTS ADAPTED TEACHING AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES TO THE DIGITAL WORLD, COLLABORATING ON PLATFORMS LIKE FACEBOOK AND GOOGLE. PROSPECTS UPDATED STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES WITH NEW HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES. THE PROSPECT PRODUCTIONS TEAM CREATED HIGH QUALITY VIDEO AND GRAPHIC CONTENT FOR OUR SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS AND WEBSITE. THEY ALSO HOSTED A LIVESTREAM AND VIRTUAL Q&A FOR OUR DOCUMENTARY, 25 PROSPECT STREET, AND THE PROSPECT BAND ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE. PROSPECTS WROTE GRANTS, HOSTED FACEBOOK FUNDRAISERS, UPDATED OUR ASSESSMENT PORTAL, AND ENGAGED STUDENTS IN VIRTUAL SERVICE LEARNING PROGRAMS (FROM PRE-K TO UNIVERSITY LEVEL). PROSPECTS PROCEEDED ON THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WITH A SERIES OF VIRTUAL CLASSES, INCLUDING MONEY CLASS, BOX OFFICE CLASS, USHER UNIVERSITY, PROSPECTOR BOOK CLUB, AND SPARKLE POWER HOUR A CONTINUING EDUCATION SERIES FEATURING GUEST SPEAKERS FROM WITHIN THE FILM AND DISABILITY COMMUNITIES. IN ADDITION TO THESE WORK ACTIVITIES, EVERY PROSPECT PARTICIPATED IN DAILY "FLASH CHALLENGES" CURATED BY THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO STAY CONNECTED AND CREATIVE AND TO CONTINUE GENERATING CONTENT! SAFE AND SPARKLY MOVIEGOING WHILE WE REMAINED CLOSED, PROSPECTS WORKED AROUND THE CLOCK TO PREPARE FOR REOPENING. WE BEGAN BY UPDATING POLICIES, PROCEDURES, AND TRAINING MATERIALS TO REFLECT THE GUIDELINES SET BY THE CDC. OUR CLEAN TEAM THEN PERFORMED A RIGOROUS DEEP CLEAN OF THE BUILDING AND GROUNDS. PROSPECTS ON OUR OPERATIONS TEAM INSTALLED GLASS PARTITIONS, CONTACTLESS PAYMENT READERS, AND HAND SANITIZING STATIONS. SOCIAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES WERE MARKED ON THE GROUND AND USHERS DEVELOPED A NEW POLICY FOR SAFELY SEATING AND GREETING GUESTS IN THE THEATERS. THE HEADS UP CAFE WAS COMPLETELY REDESIGNED FOR SAFER FOOT TRAFFIC PATHS, AND WE ALSO USED THE TIME DURING OUR CLOSURE TO INSTALL A NEW COOLER, ESPRESSO MACHINE, AND TAP SYSTEM. WE STRATEGICALLY PROGRAMMED A CONTENT BLOCK OF OVER 100 THROWBACK MOVIES IN PREPARATION OF REOPENING. THE HUMAN RESOURCES TEAM PLANNED AND EXECUTED A REOPENING WORK ORIENTATION, TEACHING AND TRAINING PROSPECTS ON OUR NEW SAFE AND SPARKLY MOVIEGOING PRACTICES. ALL OF THIS HARD WORK CULMINATED WITH OUR REOPENING NIGHT SCREENING OF JAWS - WHICH SOLD OUT WITHIN HOURS OF GOING ON SALE! PROSPECTS WERE THRILLED TO RETURN TO WORK, GREET GUESTS, POP POPCORN, GIVE USHER SPEECHES, AND LIGHT UP OUR SCREENS ONCE AGAIN! PIVOTING GEMSTONE FARM WITH A RAPID DECLINE IN MOVIEGOING, THE PROSPECTOR THEATER WAS FORCED TO DRASTICALLY REDUCE OPERATING HOURS, NEGATIVELY AFFECTING THE QUALITY OF LIVES FOR PROSPECTS. GEMSTONE FARM - A LOCAL FAMILY-OWNED FARM IN NEW CANAAN, CT WITH WHOM WE HAVE BUILT A PARTNERSHIP - STEPPED UP TO OFFER PROSPECTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IN AN INTEGRATED AND COMPETITIVE WORK SETTING. WE WERE ABLE TO CREATE DOZENS OF COVID-FRIENDLY JOB OPPORTUNITIES WORKING OUTSIDE IN LANDSCAPING, AGRICULTURAL, AND HORTICULTURAL SETTINGS. PROSPECTS REVITALIZED THE GEMSTONE GARDEN WITH NEW HERBS, FLOWERS, VEGETABLES, AND FRUITS. PROSPECTS WORKED ALONGSIDE GEMSTONE EMPLOYEES "GEMS" TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF GROWING ORGANIC FOOD, FLOWERS, SUPPORTING THE BEE POPULATIONS, TAPPING MAPLES (BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR MAPLE GOURMET POPCORN COMING SOON), PLANTING NATIVE SPECIES, CARING FOR ANIMALS, AND PROTECTING NATURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT. WE FELT INCREDIBLY FORTUNATE TO HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH GEMSTONE DURING THIS TRYING TIME AND IT FURTHER VALIDATED THE INTENT BEHIND DEVELOPING THAT PROGRAM MANY YEARS AGO. SPARKLEVISION WHEN MOVIE THEATERS CLOSED FOR THE PANDEMIC, STREAMING SERVICES EMERGED AS THE PREMIERE FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT. THE PROSPECTOR HAS LONG VIEWED STREAMING SERVICES AS THE NUMBER ONE RISK FACTOR FOR OUR INDUSTRY, AND THE PANDEMIC ACCELERATED THEIR GROWTH AND DOMINANCE. INSTEAD OF FIGHTING AGAINST THIS CHANGING TIDE, THE PROSPECTOR TEAM HAS DECIDED TO PADDLE WITH THE CURRENT, DEVELOPING OUR OWN STREAMING APP SPARKLEVISION. IN 2021, THE PROSPECTOR'S OPERATIONS AND IT TEAMS WILL BE DEVELOPING A STREAMING PLATFORM USING VIMEO'S OTT API. THE PLATFORM WILL USE A TVOD (TRANSACTIONAL VIDEO ON DEMAND) MODEL TO OFFER EDUCATIONAL AND ENTERTAINING CONTENT. PROSPECT PRODUCTIONS WILL FEATURE ALONGSIDE MISSION-RELATED FILMS, WITH SEVERAL SERIES ALREADY IN THE WORKS A PROSPECTOR DOCUSERIES, CHEF JEFF: MEALS FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING, GABE & GUESTS, PENCI THE PENCIL, AND MUCH, MUCH MORE! THE PLATFORM WILL BE AVAILABLE ON TVOS, IOS, ANDROID, ROKU, XBOX, AMAZON FIRE STICK, AND SAMSUNG TIZEN. WE WILL ESTABLISH OURSELVES AS A GOLD-STANDARD IN STREAMING ACCESSIBILITY, PROMINENTLY OFFERING AUDIO DESCRIPTION AND CLOSED CAPTIONING SERVICES FOR ALL OF OUR CONTENT. MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE TONS OF JOBS THROUGH SPARKLEVISION: APP AND WEB DESIGN, DIRECTING, ACTING, EDITING, CINEMATOGRAPHY, CURATING, MARKETING, ACCESSIBILITY CHECKER, AND MORE! GOURMET POPCORN EXPANSION PROSPECTS ARE ALWAYS EAGER TO SHARE OUR SPARKLE WITH THE WORLD. IT BECAME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO DO WITH MORE PEOPLE STAYING AT HOME THESE DAYS. THAT'S WHEN THE IDEA POPPED INTO OUR HEADS BEGIN SELLING OUR DELICIOUS GOURMET POPCORN ONLINE! WE EMBARKED ON THIS JOURNEY IN THE FALL OF 2020 WITH THE DEBUT OF OUR GOURMET POPCORN SPARKLE BOXES: THEMED GIFT-BOXES FILLED WITH GOURMET POPCORN, MOVIE RECOMMENDATIONS, AND SPARKLE. AS WE GROW THE PROGRAM IN 2021, WE WILL BUILD A GOURMET POPCORN SPECIFIC WEBSITE, EXPANDING INTO E-COMMERCE. WE WILL CREATE THOUSANDS MORE HOURS OF MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT THROUGH POPCORN PRODUCTION, PACKAGING, MARKETING, MERCHANDISING, LOGISTICS, GRAPHIC DESIGN, VIDEO PRODUCTION, WEB DESIGN, AND MORE. THE GOURMET POPCORN TEAM HAS ALSO TAKEN THE SHOW ON THE ROAD, CURATING POP-UPS (PUN INTENDED) AT LOCAL BUSINESSES AND FESTIVALS. WE ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING A YEAR-LONG CALENDAR OF POP-UP EVENTS SO PROSPECTS CAN SPREAD THEIR SUGARY SPARKLE FAR AND WIDE! EDUCATING SPARKLE POWER HOUR WHEN PROSPECTS MADE THE SHIFT VIRTUAL, WE HAD TO THINK ABOUT VALUABLE TEACHING AND TRAINING EXPERIENCES THAT WE COULD CURATE IN A DIGITAL WORLD. WITH PLATFORMS LIKE ZOOM AND GOOGLE MEETS, WORK-FROM-HOME HAS MADE THE WORLD MORE ACCESSIBLE; IT HAS CREATED FORUMS WHERE WE CAN DIGITALLY WORK TOGETHER TOWARDS SHARED GOALS. WITH THIS SPIRIT IN MIND, OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TEAM CREATED SPARKLE POWER HOUR: A WEEKLY CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSE THROUGH WHICH PROSPECTS LEARN FROM EXPERTS IN RELATED FIELDS. WE REACHED OUT TO FILMMAKERS, NON-PROFIT LEADERS, ADVOCATES, DESIGNERS, JOURNALISTS, AND MORE TO SEE IF THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SHARING THEIR STORIES WITH US. THE END RESULT IS A SPEAKER SERIES WHERE MEMBERS OF THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY CAN COME TOGETHER WITH PROSPECTS TO LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER. SPEAKERS AT SPARKLE POWER HOUR INCLUDE DISABILITY ADVOCATE AND SCREENWRITER EMILY KINGSLEY, DIRECTOR TROY QUANE, ACTOR TAL ANDERSON, PICTIONARY CREATOR ROB ANGEL, AND BEST-SELLING AUTHOR KRISTIN SMEDLEY. PROSPECTS HAVE BEEN DEEPLY INSPIRED BY SPARKLE POWER HOUR AND WE HAVE FORGED MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS WITH INDUSTRY CHANGEMAKERS. VIRTUAL SERVICE LEARNING AS CLASSROOMS WENT VIRTUAL IN 2020, EDUCATORS LOOKED FOR NEW AND INNOVATIVE WAYS TO ENGAGE STUDENTS. PROSPECTS CAPITALIZED ON THIS NEED, TRANSFERRING OUR SERVICE LEARNING TO VIRTUAL PROGRAMS. THE SERVICE LEARNING TEAM TRANSLATED POPULAR PROGRAMS THE PENCIL PRESENTATION, THE RAPTIVITY, FOLLOW YOUR SPARKLE INTO INTERACTIVE, DIGITAL FORMATS. WE HOSTED PROGRAMS WITH OVER 2,000 STUDENTS IN PRE-K, ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE, HIGH, AND TRANSITION PROGRAM SCHOOLS. PROSPECTS ALSO PARTNERED WITH CLEMSON UNIVERSITY'S OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY PROGRAM FOR A SERVICE LEARNING EXPERIENCE AROUND CREATING AND SUSTAINING MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT AMONG ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES. ADAPTING OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING TO A DIGITAL WORLD ALLOWED US TO REACH AUDIENCES WE NEVER HAVE BEFORE. WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THESE IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL SERVICES IN 2021, USING THE NEW SPARKLEVISION APP AS ONE OF THE WAYS WE CAN OFFER SERVICE LEARNING PROGRAMMING! INCREASED NEED FOR OUR WORK MORE THAN 1,000,000 MORE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES BECAME UNEMPLOYED DUE TO THE PANDEMIC (SOCIETY OF HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT). PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES HAVE BEEN LARGELY FUNNELED INTO DYING INDUSTRIES OR THOSE HIT HARDEST BY PANDEMIC RETAIL, HOSPITALITY, AND RESTAURANTS. AS THE DOORS OF THESE BUSINESSES CLOSED, SO DID THE DOORS TO MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES HAVE BEEN DEEPLY AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS CONTINUED: ONE OUT OF FIVE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES HAVE BEEN DISMISSED FROM THEIR JOBS SINCE MARCH 2020, AS COMPARED TO ONE OUT OF SEVEN FOR AMERICANS WITHOUT DISABILITIES (U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS). ADDITIONALLY, THE HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL BELIEVES THERE MAY BE LONG-TERM, NEUROLOGIC CONSEQUENCES IN THOSE WHO SURVIVE COVID INFECTIONS. ALL OF THIS UNDERSCORES THE INCREASED NEED FOR OUR LIFE-CHANGING WORK. WITH THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES REACHING 83%, AND THE ANTICIPATED INCREASE OF PEOPLE IDENTIFYING WITH A DISABILITY DUE TO COVID COMPLICATIONS, EMPLOYERS WILL NEED NEW STRATEGIES FOR STIMULATING COMPETITIVE AND INTEGRATED WORKPLACES. THE PROSPECTOR WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE AS A RESOURCE FOR BUSINESSES, SCHOOLS, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS SEEKING TO ADD VALUE THROUGH INCLUSIVE AND ACCESSIBLE COMMUNITIES.
