FY26 CDF Impact Survey Is Open!
A new opportunity for reform, transparency, and equity.
Your chance to help inform cultural funding in New York City.
Dance/NYC and A.R.T./New York are once again partnering to develop and administer a survey to all NYC arts and cultural institutions impacted by FY26 CDF (Cultural Development Fund) Awards. If you applied to CDF for FY26, no matter the result, we want your input.
The survey will be live for 4 weeks and will close on February 18, 2026. It should not take more than 10 minutes to complete.
Please share this with your colleagues across the sector to increase overall participation and ensure the results are representative of all eligible disciplines and organization types.
Until DCLA opens their data set, this survey is the largest and most impactful resource to advocate for expanded funding, increased transparency, and improved equity.
