Broadway Stages has a long history of supporting initiatives that benefit the economic, social, and environmental wellbeing of the community. Giving back to the communities where we operate is at the core of our business philosophy. During both good times and hard times, Broadway Stages lends a hand to those in need.
Broadway Stages is dedicated to building a strong and sustainable television and film culture in New York; one that brings mutual value to our clients, our operations, the community, and our environment. Our approach to business includes a deep-rooted commitment to provide unparalleled relationship-driven client and community service. It’s this approach that sets us apart and allows us to make a difference and encourages our clients to do the same. Even when facing hardships like the 2020 pandemic or the recent WGA and SAG/AFTRA strikes.
For years we have had the privilege of supporting numerous community initiatives and programs. From providing school supplies, collecting, and donating coats and prom attire, to supporting community efforts to fight food insecurity, Broadway Stages has been engaged in meeting the needs of the community.
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, we provided a 10-month no-cost lease to The Campaign Against Hunger (TCAH) allowing them to feed more than 2 million individuals in need during this life changing event. Today, we proudly serve on the board of TCAH and continue to support their fight against food insecurity.
Earlier this year, we provided a 12-month no-cost lease to the Community Center Services Organization (CCSO), enabling the collection and distribution of food and other necessities, while they find a permanent facility. And our clients are engaged as well, Apple Studios, that produced “City on Fire” recently made a significant donation of clothing and accessories to CCSO allowing them to distribute high end merchandise to neighbors in need. And Possible Productions that filmed “The Blacklist” also donated kitchen and household supplies to CCSO. Our clients understand the importance of giving back and the value it generates in our community.
Our outreach also includes support of organizations that provide much needed community services and programs including the Committee for Hispanic Children and Families, Sunnyside Community Services, Ujima Community Working Together, the Greenpoint YMCA, Camp Brooklyn, 5 Boros Basketball, Grace Foundation, Kiwanis Club, Los Sures, and others. In addition, we continue to promote local businesses to establish a strong economic foundation where our community can flourish, and our neighbors can earn a living wage.
