About the OPPORTUNITY

In Partnership with Orange County Public Schools, United Arts is excited to announce that we are collecting Arts in Education Program Proposals for the 25 – 26 Academic Year. Interested Partner Organizations must submit their program proposals by the May 31st deadline to be considered for funding for the upcoming school year.

Deadline: The program proposal application process will open on March 3, 2025, and close on May 31, 2025. This will allow for OCPS district leaders to review the submitted proposals and make allocation decisions in time for chosen partner programs to begin the booking process and ensure the possibility of program delivery for the start of the academic year in August of 2025.

Important Dates

Deadline: Program proposals are accepted between March 10 and May 31, 2025 with a goal to have funding allocations decided by July. To apply for funding, go here.

New applicants must also create a  United Arts Arts Ed account and submit their program(s) for 2025-26.

Returning applicants with significant changes to their program(s) must reflect those changes on their  United Arts Arts Ed account. Also, please expire all events that are no longer offered.

FAQS

Updates to the Process

Previous program partners will notice some minor changes within the application itself. Many external forms used in the past have now been embedded into the portal process for ease of reporting and capturing accurate data. Overall the policies will remain exactly the same as they have been but with a few updates to the ways in which we will collect invoice and attendance data if and when your program has been approved for an allocation.

If at any time you or someone on your team needs assistance with the application or has questions or concerns regarding the process please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.
