The FY 2022 – FY 2023 cycle of the Urban Enhancement Trust Fund (UETF) seeks to provide funding to projects that address the needs of the diverse communities that comprise the City of Albuquerque.
This two-year funding cycle will prioritize projects that positively impact residents, neighborhoods and communities by providing direct access and increased opportunities for quality cultural activities and programming by, for, and about a broad representation of our city’s population.
The UETF strives to contribute to making Albuquerque a national role model among cities working toward equity and inclusion. They envisions a city of people whose success, safety and health are not pre-determined by their race or ethnicity, sexual orientation, income, socioeconomics, immigration status, disability, and personal background.
The UETF welcome and encourage all arts and cultural organizations, and non-arts organizations nonprofits in partnership with an arts and cultural organization, to submit projects that are led by and serving a broad representation of Albuquerque’s population to apply as long as their project enriches the city’s cultural life or vitality in the area of visual art, music, theater, dance, history, or literature, and that have favorable economic or cultural impacts on the city.
