Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE MISSION OF UNITED ARTS OF CENTRAL FLORIDA IS TO ENRICH COMMUNITIES BY INVESTING IN ART, SCIENCE AND HISTORY. OUR CORE VALUES ARE: TRUST, PROFESSIONALISM, EXCELLENCE, INCLUSION AND LEADERSHIP.
UNITED ARTS SUPPORTS MORE THAN 60 ARTS, SCIENCE AND HISTORY ORGANIZATIONS BY RAISING AND DISTRIBUTING FUNDS, SECURING AND FACILITATING CONTRACTS FOR SERVICES INCLUDING VITAL PRE-K TO 12TH GRADE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING, AND BY PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, ADVOCACY, ADMINISTRATIVE AND ADVISORY SERVICES. IN FY19, UNITED ARTS PROVIDED MORE THAN 5.1 MILLION IN FUNDING THROUGH GRANTS, DESIGNATED GIVING AND CONTRACT SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES. THROUGH THE 60+ ORGANIZATIONS UNITED ARTS FUNDS, CENTRAL FLORIDA RESIDENTS AND VISITORS ENJOYED 2,881,318 ART, SCIENCE AND HISTORY EXPERIENCES. K-12 STUDENT ARTS EDUCATION EXPERIENCES REPRESENT 36% OF THIS NUMBER AT 1,037,879 EXPERIENCES.
FUNDRAISING - UNITED ARTS OPERATES IN A FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE MANNER AND PREPARES ITS BUDGET ON A FORWARD-FUNDING MODEL, MEANING FUNDS RAISED DURING THE ANNUAL CAMPAIGN IN ONE FISCAL YEAR ARE RESTRICTED TO FUND GRANTS AND OPERATIONS IN THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR. THIS MAY RESULT IN NET INCOME OR A DEFICIT DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF WHEN FUNDS ARE RAISED AND EXPENDED. THE FORWARD-FUNDING MODEL ENSURES THE AGENCY HAS THE COMMITTED FUNDS ON HAND EACH YEAR TO FUND THE GRANTS AND OPERATIONS PROPOSED IN ITS ANNUAL BUDGET. UNITED ARTS ACTIVELY RAISES FUNDS FOR ITSELF AND THE REGION'S ARTS AND CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH ITS ANNUAL COLLABORATIVE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN. UNITED ARTS COORDINATES THE LARGEST COLLABORATIVE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN IN SUPPORT OF ARTS AND CULTURE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. CON'T IN SCH O
INVESTING IN THE COMMUNITY - UNITED ARTS INVESTS DIRECTLY IN THE ARTS COMMUNITY THROUGH GRANTS, COLLABORATIVE FUNDRAISING AND CONTRACT SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES. UNITED ART'S TWO CORE GRANT PROGRAMS SUPPORT ARTS, SCIENCE AND HISTORY ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS THROUGHOUT THE FOUR-COUNTY REGION THROUGH OPERATING SUPPORT AND PROJECT GRANTS. THEY ARE: 1) OPERATING SUPPORT GRANTS (OSG) PROVIDE STABILIZING OPERATING SUPPORT FOR THE REGION'S ARTS AND CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS WITH FULL SEASONS OF PROGRAMMING AND OPERATING BUDGETS IN EXCESS OF 75,000. IN FY19, 1,495,000 IN FUNDING WAS AWARDED TO 35 ORGANIZATIONS. 2) MINI GRANTS - THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES MUCH NEEDED FUNDING FOR ORGANIZATIONS WITH BUDGETS OF UNDER 75,000 OR THAT DO NOT PROVIDE A FULL SEASON OF PROGRAMMING, SUCH AS FAIRS AND CON'T IN SCH O
ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAMMING - STATISTICS SHOW THAT CHILDREN WHO HAVE ARTS CREDITS IN THEIR CURRICULUM HAVE IMPROVED PERFORMANCE, ARE MORE LIKELY TO STAY IN SCHOOL AND ARE MORE LIKELY TO GRADUATE. ENGAGING WITH THE ARTS ENCOURAGES CRITICAL THINKING, RESULTING IN MORE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN THE LEARNING PROCESS AND FEWER DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS. THIS APPLIES TO ALL STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF ETHNICITY AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC BACKGROUND. ARTS EXPERIENCES IN SCHOOLS ARE A VITAL COMPONENT OF THE EDUCATION PROCESS. UNITED ARTS FACILITATES CURRICULUM-BASED K-12 ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAMMING IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH CONTACTED SERVICES WITH LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND OUR GRANTEE ORGANIZATIONS. UNITED ARTS' ARTS EDUCATION INITIATIVES EXPOSE STUDENTS TO MUSIC, THEATER, DANCE, FILM, BALLET, AND CON'T IN SCH O
