| 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 75% 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: | MAJOR MILESTONES: MORE THAN 119 PROSPECTS (75% OF WHOM IDENTIFY WITH HAVING A DISABILITY) EXPERIENCED THE JOYS OF MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT IN 2018. PROSPECTS WORKED OVER 101,000 HOURS OF MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT, EARNING MORE THAN $2,000,000 IN SALARY AND RELATED BENEFITS. WE WELCOMED OVER 123,000 TICKET-BUYERS AND 1,600 SERVICE-LEARNING STUDENTS. THESE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GUESTS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT AND ENGAGE WITH PROSPECTS, WITNESSING OUR TALENTS, SPARKLE, AND EMPLOYABILITY FIRST-HAND. OUR THEATER OCCUPANCY RATE OF 32% WAS WELL ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 15% ATTENDANCE, AND OUR BOX OFFICE GROSSES WERE UP 7% LAST YEAR, ONE PERCENT MORE THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. OUR CONCESSIONS TEAM INCREASED OUR PER CAP TO $4.70 (THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS $4.28), AS THEY POPPED 20+ MILLION KERNELS THIS PAST YEAR! VIEWS ON OUR PROSPECT PRODUCTION VIDEOS SOARED OVER 421,000, GARNERING MORE THAN 1,000,000 SOCIAL MEDIA IMPRESSIONS. THESE NUMBERS REFLECT THE CORE PRINCIPLE THAT HIRING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IS NOT A GOOD THING TO DO; HIRING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ADDS TREMENDOUS VALUE TO THE BUSINESS. BEST PERFORMING MOVIES OF 2018 1. THE INCREDIBLES 2 2. BLACK PANTHER 3. CRAZY RICH ASIANS GOOD JOBS = GOOD LIVES FOR PROSPECTS PROSPECTS COME TO WORK WITH DIFFERENT ABILITIES, TALENTS, EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUNDS, CHALLENGES, AND SPARKLE. WE WORK TOGETHER AT EVERY LEVEL OF THEATER OPERATIONS, FROM BOX OFFICE TO OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS. OUR CULTURE OF COMPETITIVE EMPLOYMENT KEEPS US LEARNING AND GROWING, WITH THE BUILT-IN ACCOUNTABILITY OF OUR OPERATIONAL GOALS. PROSPECTS LIVE A HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT, INCLUDING GREATER INDEPENDENCE, INCREASED SENSE OF SELF-WORTH, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL GROWTH, AND HAPPINESS. SEVEN PROSPECTS TRANSITIONED TO FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT IN 2018, RECEIVING HEALTH, VISION, AND DENTAL BENEFITS. AROUND 25% OF PROSPECTS ARE FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES OF THE THEATER. PREMIERING OUR DOCUMENTARY "25 PROSPECT STREET": WE WERE BEYOND EXCITED FOR THE 2018 PREMIERE OF 25 PROSPECT STREET - A DOCUMENTARY FILM DETAILING THE STRUGGLES AND SPARKLE OF THE PROSPECTOR THEATER. DRAWN TO THE THEATER BY THE POWER OF OUR MISSION, INDEPENDENT FILMMAKERS DOCUMENTED THE PAINFULLY HONEST AND INTIMATE MOMENTS OF OUR START-UP PHASE AND FIRST YEAR OF OPERATION. PROSPECTS WENT ON A NATIONWIDE TOUR WITH THE MOVIE LAST FALL. WE HOSTED SCREENINGS IN NEW HAVEN, HOUSTON, DALLAS, AUSTIN, AND CHICAGO. WE PLAN TO BRING THE FILM TO MORE CITIES IN 2019, SO WE CAN EDUCATE MORE BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITIES ON HOW AND WHY TO INCLUDE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WORKFORCE. SERVICE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES: OVER 1,600 STUDENTS FROM 35 DIFFERENT GROUPS EXPERIENCED OUR SERVICE LEARNING PROGRAMMING IN 2018, GENERATING OFF-PEAK RELEVANCY AND ADDITIONAL NON-PROFIT REVENUE. AS A VALUABLE EDUCATIONAL TOOL, OUR SERVICE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES ALLOW GUESTS TO ACTIVELY ENGAGE WITH PROSPECTS, BUILDING EMPATHY AND PROMOTING OUR MISSION. PROSPECTS WELCOMED STUDENTS (K-12), YOUTH SERVICE GROUPS, EDUCATORS, AND PROFESSIONALS FOR SERVICE LEARNING ENGAGEMENTS THAT EXPLORE OUR UNIQUE MODEL, OPERATION, AND TRAINING PROGRAM. PROSPECTS HAVE BEGUN TAKING THE SERVICE LEARNING SHOW ON THE ROAD, VISITING SCHOOLS FOR PRESENTATIONS AND EDUCATIONAL SCREENINGS. THESE ADDED SERVICE LEARNING EXPERIENCES HAVE INTRODUCED THE PROSPECTOR'S MISSION TO NEW SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES, SPREADING OUR SPARKLE TO SCHOOLS IN FAIRFIELD AND WESTCHESTER COUNTIES WHO HAVE YET TO EXPERIENCE THE PROSPECTOR. MUSIC PRODUCTION: IN APRIL OF 2018, THE PROSPECT BAND RELEASED THEIR DEBUT ALBUM AND CELEBRATED WITH A LIVE CONCERT AT THE THEATER! THE BAND IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A VIABLE CREATIVE PROGRAM THAT DRIVES REVENUE AND MARKETS OUR MISSION OF MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. THE PROSPECT BAND IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR BOTH BOOKINGS AT THE THEATER, AS WELL AS LOCAL GIGS. TO LISTEN TO THEIR DEBUT WORK - "THE PINK ALBUM" - CHECK OUT ITUNES, SPOTIFY, AMAZON, AND OTHER MAJOR STREAMING PLATFORMS! BEATS AND RHYMES NOW FILL THE LOBBY OF THE PROSPECTOR TWICE A WEEK THANKS TO EXPANDED "BARS & BEATS" PROGRAMMING! BARS & BEATS IS A COURSE AND PHILOSOPHY THAT DEMONSTRATES HOW PROSPECTS CAN TRANSFER SKILLS FROM RAP MUSIC TO THEIR JOBS AT THE THEATER. VOCAL PROJECTION, IMPROVISATION, STAGE PRESENCE, SELF-ESTEEM, SPATIAL AWARENESS, AND TIME MANAGEMENT ARE JUST SOME OF THE TOPICS COVERED IN BARS & BEATS. MORE THAN 20 PROSPECTS REGULARLY ROCK THE MIC IN BARS & BEATS. POST-IT PIXEL ART: OUR VIDEO GAME DESIGN CLASS HAS TRANSLATED PROSPECTS' LOVE FOR DIGITAL PIXEL ART INTO REAL-LIFE ART INSTALLATIONS FOR OUR UPCOMING MOVIES. USING TECHNIQUES FROM CODING, PROSPECTS USE POST-IT NOTES TO CREATE 8-BIT PIXEL ARTWORK IN THE THEATER WINDOWS. INSTALLATIONS HAVE INCLUDED DEPICTIONS OF SMALLFOOT, CAPTAIN AMERICA, AND WINNIE THE POOH. THESE COLORFUL MASTERPIECES ARE A PERFECT WAY TO HARNESS PROSPECT SPARKLE WHILE ALSO PROMOTING AND MARKETING OUR LATEST CONTENT TO PEDESTRIANS WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK BELOW. PARTNERING WITH WEBEDIA: IN 2018, PROSPECTS TEAMED UP WITH WEBEDIA - A GLOBAL MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY COMPANY THAT SPECIALIZES IN THE RECREATION AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRIES, SPECIFICALLY MOVIE THEATERS - TO CREATE OUR TICKETING APP. SHOWTIMES AND TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE AT YOUR FINGERPRINTS THROUGH THE APP, WHICH IS AVAILABLE IN ALL MAJOR APP STORES. AS WE STRENGTHENED OUR PARTNERSHIP, WEBEDIA EXPLORED OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO PROMOTE OUR MISSION OF MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. THEY FEATURED THE PROSPECTOR IN THEIR INDUSTRY-LEADING PUBLICATION, BOX OFFICE MAGAZINE, WHICH REACHES THE 35,000+ SCREENS IN NORTH AMERICA. PROSPECTOR JOINS NATO: THE PROSPECTOR THEATER WAS RECENTLY INVITED TO JOIN THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THEATRE OWNERS (NATO) - THE WORLD'S LARGEST EXHIBITION TRADE ORGANIZATION. SHORTLY AFTER JOINING, PROSPECTOR FOUNDER & VISIONARY VALERIE JENSEN WAS APPOINTED TO THEIR DIVERSITY & INCLUSION COMMITTEE. VAL HOPES TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY AS ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DISCUSS MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT AND ACCESSIBILITY FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGY AND PROGRAMMING: MOVIEGOING IS AN IMPORTANT CULTURAL EXPERIENCE, WHICH SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE, INCLUSIVE, AND ENJOYED BY ALL. THE PROSPECTOR THEATER WAS BUILT WITH ACCOMMODATIONS IN MIND. OUR HANDICAPPED AND COMPANION SEATING IS IN PREMIUM VIEWING LOCATIONS IN OUR THEATERS. OUR USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE THEATERS PROVIDE IN-SEAT CLOSED CAPTIONING, NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION, AND BOOSTED VOLUME FEATURES TO INCLUDE DEAF, HARD-OF-HEARING, AND VISUALLY IMPAIRED MOVIEGOERS IN THE SOCIAL BENEFIT OF SHARED ENTERTAINMENT AND EXPERIENCES. PROSPECTOR SENSORY SCREENINGS ARE DESIGNED TO INCLUDE PEOPLE WITH SENSORY DISORDERS. LIGHTS ARE DIMMED, VOLUME IS LOWERED, AND TRAINED STAFF WELCOME AND COMFORT GUESTS, OFFERING STRATEGIES TO MAKE MOVIEGOING A SUCCESSFUL, REGULAR ROUTINE. WE USE ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGY IN OUR THEATER EVERY DAY, TO TRAIN PROSPECTS, TO EDUCATE SERVICE LEARNING PARTICIPANTS, AND TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS WHO REQUEST THESE TOOLS. WATCHING OUR VIDEOS HELPS TO PUT A HUMAN FACE TO THE NEED AND IMPORTANCE FOR THESE ESSENTIAL DEVICES. THE ACCOMMODATIONS, PRODUCTIONS, AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES WE CREATE FOSTER A CULTURE OF INCLUSIVITY AND ACCESSIBLE MOVIEGOING. PLANS FOR GROWTH: OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS OF OPERATION, THE PROSPECTOR HAS CREATED A PROOF OF CONCEPT THAT DEMONSTRATES THE REAL VALUE THAT ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES ADD TO THE WORKFORCE AND BOTTOM LINE. OUR WORK IS DESPERATELY NEEDED, AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE LIMITED IN THE NUMBER OF PROSPECTS WE CAN EMPLOY. DUE TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR LANDSCAPING AND GROUNDS-KEEPING TEAM, "THE OUTSIDERS," AS WELL AS THE NEED FOR MORE MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT, WE WANT TO EXPAND OUR PROGRAMMING AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES. WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE A PILOT PROGRAM AT A LOCAL FARM HERE IN CONNECTICUT. THROUGH WORKING AT THE FARM, "THE OUTSIDERS" TEAM WILL EXPLORE EMPLOYMENT POSSIBILITIES IN AN AGRICULTURAL SETTING. THESE JOBS WILL TAKE A VARIETY OF FORMS, AND WE WILL EXPERIMENT WITH WHAT MAKES "SENSE AND CENTS" AN IN-HOUSE MOTTO THAT INSISTS ALL PROSPECTOR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES MUST FURTHER OUR PROGRAMMING AND CURRICULUM, WHILE DRIVING REVENUE AND/OR SAVING EXPENSES. WE BELIEVE THAT THE FARM PILOT PROGRAM CAN SERVE AS A MODEL FOR A WIDE ARRAY OF COMMUNITIES, AS A MORE SCALABLE AND REPLICABLE SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP SOLUTION FOR THE UNEMPLOYMENT EPIDEMIC AMONG AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES. |
