Collaborative Campaign for the Arts

If you call Central Florida “home,” then United Arts of Central Florida encourages you to help make your community an Arts for ALL community, by making a donation to the 2018 Collaborative Campaign for the Arts, which runs through April 30.

“Community support is especially critical this year,” said Flora Maria Garcia, president and CEO of United Arts. “Just as local nonprofit arts and cultural organizations were recovering from last year’s hurricanes, significant cuts to this year’s state-level arts budget has all but zeroed out the necessary funding these organizations rely on. Which is why now, more than ever, we are asking Central Florida residents, just like you, who recognize the importance of arts and culture in our community, to rise to the occasion and help make it possible for local arts and cultural organizations to fulfill their missions.”

During the 2018 Collaborative Campaign for the Arts, donors may designate contributions to one or more of United Arts’ 14 campaign partner organizations. Donations made to the campaign partner organizations will receive a 15 percent match from United Arts. Donors may also contribute to the United Arts Arts for ALL Fund. The Arts for ALL Fund provides grants for funding more than 60 Central Florida cultural providers in Lake, Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties.

Last year’s campaign success enabled United Arts to support more than 2.7 million arts and cultural experiences, of which, 910,000 were K-12 students. Your support, this year, will help United Arts and its funded organizations sustain a superb showcase of exhibitions, events, and performances, continue to create new programming that engages the community and provide unique experiences that make Central Florida an exciting place to live, work and visit.
