| THE ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S CONSERVANCY'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE FOR 2015 IS 27.17%, UP FROM 22.97% FOR 2014. THE CONSERVANCY IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED IN A MANNER BY WHICH IT CAN AND DOES ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS AND WE HAVE INDEED RECEIVED BROAD SUPPORT FROM AN ARRAY OF SOURCES. OUR MISSION IS TO RAISE FUNDS FOR RESTORING AND PRESERVING THE ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S SITE (CHURCH, COMMUNITY HOUSE AND GARDENS), NEWLY DESIGNATED AS A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK THROUGH THE SPECIFIC EFFORTS OF THE ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S CONSERVANCY. ADDITIONALLY, WE WORK TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN THE URBAN LANDSCAPE BY ENGAGING THE LOCAL CITIZENRY THROUGH PROGRAMS AND PUBLICATIONS. LITERALLY, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VISITORS FROM NEW YORK, FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY, AND FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD, VISIT THIS ARCHITECTURAL TREASURE.WHILE THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE 1992 AS THE ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S PRESERVATION FOUNDATION, IN 2011, IT WAS LEGALLY RENAMED THE ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S CONSERVANCY, BROADENED ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND BEGAN WIDENING THE SCOPE AND BREADTH OF POTENTIAL DONORS. A FULL-TIME EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WAS HIRED IN NOVEMBER 2014. IN 2015, THROUGH AN AGREEMENT WITH ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S CHURCH, THE CONSERVANCY TOOK THE LEAD IN RAISING FUNDS FOR THE RESTORATION AND PRESERVATION OF THE EXTERIOR OF THE ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S SITE. DURING 2015 AND IN THE FOUR YEARS PRECEDING, THE CONSERVANCY'S DONOR BASE INCLUDED 51 INDIVIDUALS, 7 CORPORATIONS, AND 10 FOUNDATIONS WITH GIFTS AND GRANTS RANGING FROM SMALL TO LARGE. FOR OPERATIONS, CONTRIBUTIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS TYPICALLY RANGE FROM $500 TO $1,000, ALBEIT SOME ARE LOWER AND OTHERS CONSIDERABLY HIGHER. AS OUTREACH AND PUBLICITY FOR OUR WORK INCREASES, WE EXPECT THIS DONOR BASE TO GROW SUBSTANTIALLY. THESE SUPPORTERS GIVE BECAUSE THEY CARE ABOUT AND RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION AND RESPECT THE QUALITY OF OUR WORK. BECAUSE OUR MISSION ENTAILS RAISING LARGE SUMS FOR THE VERY SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF RESTORATION OF THE HISTORIC ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S CHURCH AND COMMUNITY HOUSE BUILDINGS AND GARDENS THAT ARE ENJOYED WIDELY BY THE PUBLIC AT LARGE, IT IS NECESSARY TO SOLICIT SIZEABLE GRANTS WHERE POSSIBLE, IN ADDITION TO THE SMALLER GIFTS WE RECEIVE FROM THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. IN 2015, FOR EXAMPLE, WE RECEIVED A $1,000,000 PLEDGE FROM A FOUNDATION TO FUND A SIGNIFICANT COST RESTORATION PROJECT. THIS GIFT WAS HIGHLY UNUSUAL IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT, WAS UNEXPECTED FROM A FOUNDATION THAT HAS NEVER PREVIOUSLY GIVEN TO THE CONSERVANCY, AND WITH WHICH THERE IS NO CLOSE RELATIONSHIP. THE ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S CONSERVANCY BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS COMPRISED OF SIXTEEN INDIVIDUALS FROM THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WITH WIDELY VARYING BACKGROUNDS WHO ARE KEENLY INTERESTED IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION, IN SUPPORTING THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION, AND WHO CARE ABOUT ITS SUCCESS IN MEETING THE GOALS OF ITS MISSION. THE SECTORS REPRESENTED BY THE BOARD INCLUDE ARCHITECTURE, ARTS AND PRESERVATION, FINANCIAL, LEGAL, MARKETING, NEW YORK CITY PHILANTHROPY, AND REAL ESTATE. MANY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ALSO SERVE ON THE BOARDS OF HIGHLY REGARDED NON-PROFIT INSTITUTIONS IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK. THE ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S CONSERVANCY IS GAINING IN VISIBILITY AND RECOGNITION WITH NEW PUBLIC CONTRIBUTORS IN 2016 AND BY ACHIEVING THE NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION FOR THE ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S SITE. IN 2017 WE WILL LAUNCH AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM WITH COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY'S GRADUATE PROGRAM OF ARCHITECTURE PLANNING AND PRESERVATION / HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROGRAM AS PART OF OUR MISSION TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION. DURING THE COMING MONTHS AND CONTINUING FORWARD, THE CONSERVANCY WILL BE WORKING TO EXPAND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND DONOR SUPPORT. THIS WILL BE DONE IN PART BY HOLDING "FRIEND RAISING" EVENTS AND PROGRAMS, BUILDING A FRIENDS GROUP, AND CAPITALIZING ON THE NEW NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION. THROUGH THE CONSERVANCY'S WEBSITE, ONLY RECENTLY LAUNCHED, WE EXPECT TO ATTRACT HEIGHTENED INTEREST IN THE ORGANIZATION AND OUR PROGRAMS, AND TO ENGAGE NEW DONORS. WE ANTICIPATE GROWTH IN PUBLIC SUPPORT IN THE COMING YEARS. |
