Caramoor in the Age of COVID-19
Like most other cultural institutions, Caramoor closed its doors to the public on Friday, March 13, 2020 in response to the growing uncertainties and challenges posed by the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic. Its President and CEO and Board of Trustees, along with its Finance Committee, made a commitment not to lay off staff during the shutdown. Next, Caramoor developed a budget model for the financial operation that pared back revenues to the most realistic levels and reduced all expenses to the extent possible while maintaining the institution’s safety and care. This model has allowed Caramoor to stay financially stable during these unprecedented times and, at the same time, not negatively impact its endowment portfolio or create unnecessary debt.
Caramoor presented just a few limited-capacity outdoor performances over the summer and has ventured into live-streaming most of its scheduled fall performances. The grounds have reopened on weekends for guests to picnic, explore, and enjoy its four Sonic Innovations art works.
Caramoor is truly fortunate to project stable fiscal solvency during these difficult times for nonprofit organizations worldwide. A strong and supportive Board of Trustees, dedicated staff, and successful $41 million campaign has put Caramoor in a strong position to meet any future fiscal challenges.
