Short doc pitch

News Peg:  Are non-profits still thriving as Covid-19 slows down?

or  Is funding an educational program a donor’s first choice?

Angle: This short doc will focus on non-profits (3) based in Staten Island ( unsure if I will narrow my focus to ONE) and their educational programs. I plan to focus on a few topics. Which are: How does a non-profit get started, what keeps a non-profit running, who funds their educational programs, why non-profits/the arts are important to our youth. how were they affected by the pandemic and how they’re doing now.

Possible Interviews:

Victoria Munro – Executive Director of Alice Austen House

Doreen Cugno – President/CEO of St George Theater

Karen Goldman – Founder/ Executive Director of Emma’s Place

Someone who attended the educational programs
