United
Arts of Central Florida (UA) collaborates with more than 60 arts and cultural organizations, individuals, businesses, local governments, and foundations to enhance
the quality and variety of cultural experiences throughout Central Florida. UA is committed to enriching Central Florida’s diverse and energetic community through art, music, science, dance, history, and theater.
The organization has supported the arts, sciences, and history in Lake, Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties for 30 years. Toward that
end, UA has invested more than $155 million in local arts and culture organizations, as well as education, with an annual investment of more than $5 million. In addition to raising and distributing funds, UA provides management, administrative, and advisory
services to its partner arts and cultural organizations. Last year, United Arts supported more than 2.9 million experiences, including more than 1.2 million for K-12 students.
UA’s core programs include numerous grants providing operating and project support opportunities for arts and cultural organizations
of all sizes and genres; contract for service opportunities that ensure arts, science, and history experiences are available to K-12 students and adults of all means; collaborative fundraising through the annual Collaborative Campaign for the Arts;
technical assistance opportunities; research and data on the economic impact of the arts on the region; and arts advocacy.
