Project Eligibility
Projects based in the arts, culture, history, or science that take place in Lake, Orange, Osceola, or Seminole counties and are open to the public. Exhibits, performances, festivals, arts education, outreach programs, and art-based community development activities are examples of typical projects. Professional artists must be involved in the planning and execution of each project. Social and Human Service Organizations must partner with arts organizations.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicant organizations must have current 501(c)3 status and current good standing with the state of Florida Division of Corporations as a nonprofit organization.
- The nonprofit 501(c)3 must be located in Lake, Orange, Osceola, or Seminole counties (United Arts uses the principal address listed on an organization’s W-9 and Sunbiz registration).
- The nonprofit organization should have a Unique Entity ID through the federal government to receive United Arts Funding.
- This is not required, but it is highly suggested to register for a Unique Entity ID as it is often a requirement on state, city, and outside funding opportunities.
- Faith-based organizations who have 501(c)3 status as long as the event is a non-faith-based program open to any segment of the population.
- Applicant organizations must be in good standing with any prior United Arts grant or contract reporting.
- Operating Support grantees are eligible to apply, but the project must be focused on increasing access in the community. The work must be either an expansion to new sites, or a new program/service etc., being offered to a new community.
- Grants are awarded to non-profit organizations, designated as tax-exempt by the Internal Revenue Service, or occasionally, to select government agencies. Grants will not be made to individuals.
