Bayou District Foundation – New Orleans, LA
Suddes Partners has been engaged by the Bayou District foundation in the redevelopment of the St. Bernard Community in New Orleans, Louisiana. Suddes Partners will work to secure vital capital funding to transform the community and plan for long-term sustainability for this community.
This project, costing over $233M in all, will create a space for life to begin
again in a once poverty-stricken neighborhood that was submerged in Hurricane
Katrina floodwaters for more than 21 days. The philanthropic board of directors
aims to break the cycle of poverty by creating and funding a healthy, sustainable,
mixed-income community complete with schools, recreational facilities, and other
amenities that attract former residents and private investments to the community.
Phase I of the project includes: 465 mixed housing units, an early childhood
learning center, K-8 charter school, a YMCA, 18-hole championship golf course,
nine hole executive golf course, First Tee learning facility, duel-ended driving
range, and baseball, soccer, and softball fields.
St. Andrew’s School- Savannah, GA
As St. Andrew’s School nears
its 30th anniversary, Suddes Partners has come on board to assist the school leadership in
conducting the most ambitious capital campaign in the school’s history. Phase
1 and 2 of the campaign, titled “The Journey,” includes an athletic complex, science
and mathematics building, a bridge that will connect the upper and lower school,
and a performing arts center and auditorium. The final phase will include an administrative
and technology/media center.
This $12.6 million project will significantly enhance the educational experience
for all St. Andrew’s
students, as well as provide opportunities for the community at large. Suddes
Partners is proud to participate in this “transformational” campaign and building
project.
Springfield YMCA – Springfield, IL
The Springfield YMCA has appointed Suddes Partners as development counsel to raise the
capital necessary to build a new YMCA facility to serve southwest Springfield.
Suddes Partners is working hand-in-hand with local leaders to build a new $10-
$12 million facility, as well as establish partnerships with organizations such as a leading
area hospital. This partnership will allow hospital patients and staff access to YMCA facilities
to complete their physical therapy and other rehabilitative services. Additionally, the YMCA
will be able to reach numerous additional families in Springfield- continuing a century-old
reputation of progress and service to this Central Illinois community.
The Geneva School- Winter Park, FL
In only 14 short years, The Geneva School
has become well established in the Orlando community for its unique and substantial
Christian classical mission and curriculum. A classical Christian education is based on the trivium model
which blends three stages of education: Grammar, Dialectic, and Rhetoric to accumulate
the “tools
of learning,” the cultivation of wisdom.
Suddes Partners is thrilled to work with The Geneva School in developing and executing a
$25 million capital campaign that will make their vision of a new campus, seated on a 52-acre
lakefront property, a reality. The outcome of this project will result in a sustainable model
that will allow The Geneva School to continue to grow and serve as a model of Christian classical
education around the country.
Chapel Hill-Carborro YMCA – Chapel Hill, NC
Suddes Partners is serving as development counsel to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro YMCA to raise
essential capital dollars to build a $4 million Teen Center to engage area youth in
positive programs and activities.
For over 40 years, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro YMCA has been a key provider of critical services
to the citizens of Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Orange County, and has had a positive impact
on children, teens, adults and seniors. Since the facility’s expansion in 2001, membership
has doubled and the YMCA is reaching over 1,000 children through its summer and after-school
programs. In an effort to reach and provide opportunities for the teenage population in the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro area, the YMCA is building a state-of-the-art Teen Center behind the
current facility.
Cobb Landmarks and Historical Society – Marietta, GA
Suddes Partners has been retained by Cobb Landmarks and Historical Society to develop their
strategic direction, organizational alignment, and operational and capital fundraising.
This historic preservation organization that serves Cobb County, Georgia, located
northwest of Atlanta, is well-respected in the preservation community and was
recently featured in an article in USA Today. Through their work with Suddes Partners, Cobb
Landmarks and Historical Society will be able to expand its footprint in preserving environmental
and geographic areas of historic and architectural importance, and further educate the
citizens of Cobb County and surrounding areas.
Academy of the New Church and the General Church – Bryn Athyn, PA
Suddes Partners has been appointed as development counsel for The Academy of the New Church
and the General Church. Guided by a five-year master plan, the organizations have embarked
upon an ambitious plan to engage school and church members in fundraising and awareness building
efforts. Central to the plan are initiatives to grow the church membership, renovate cherished
older facilities, construct new buildings that complement the needs of the entire community
and to develop a strong financial foundation for the future.
