Richard Greenil, the temporary director of the Kennedy Center, is developing a “proper sense” plan to transfer the center's financial statements and make it “prosperous”, as it wrestles with $ 72 million of debt due to previous leadership decisions.
“The Kennedy Center is the leading arts Foundation in the United States,” Greenl told Fox News Digital. “It is worth getting full support for the public and a solid public budget.”
The sources familiar with the current financial statements of the Fox News Digital Center have stated that it was “the budget for the loss of money.”
But Greenil brought a new financial manager, Donna Erdin, who was assigned to improve what she described as “my situation.”

“The previous business plan was developed at the Kennedy Center to leave the center in red and I did so completely,” Erdin told Fox News Digital. “The previous leadership left any other option other than paying the salaries of employees with the money that is supposed to be allocated to the debt reserves.”
“The total mismanagement created a terrible situation we felt shocked to discover.”
In the fiscal year 2025, the Kennedy Center works with a budget of $ 234 million. Also, in the 25th fiscal year, Kennedy was a deficit of $ 105.2 million, which left a $ 7.2 million deficit.
Fox News Digital sources told the sources that the gap was full of dollars to collect donations to the Kennedy-91 million dollar center of annual donations, and $ 7 million of profits on the endowments.

The Kennedy Center contains subsidiary companies – national symphony orchestra and national opera in Washington. The new leadership team is currently working on business plans through its subsidiaries to ensure that the Kennedy Center has larger endowments and “greater sustainability”.
Official Endowments raised only a total of $ 163 million, which told a new leadership for Fox News Digital that it is “not enough for the size of this institution.”
Under the last leadership team, the Kennedy Center built “The Reach”, an intimate theater in the Kennedy Center hosting concerts, comic shows and poetry readings. It also has a restaurant.
But the sources familiar with the financial statements told Fox News Digital that the previous leadership has removed a large part of the debt to build the place – equivalent to the center about 200 million dollars.
“There was no profitable plan for that,” the source explained, noting that until now, the space was “unexploited”, which brought only two million dollars a year.
