UETF funds projects (not operating expenses) that meet the following guidelines:

All projects must take place within the Albuquerque city limits
All projects should have a favorable economic or cultural impact on the city where “residents appreciate, foster, and respect Albuquerque’s arts and culture”

Projects funded in the past include:

Arts/cultural educational workshops at community centers, schools, senior centers, and other public venues
Free performances, exhibits or cultural festivals
Audio, video or electronic productions
Oral histories, cultural research or plans

Eligibility: Proposals must be submitted by a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, an arts organization, or an appropriate fiscal sponsor. Applicants may submit up to three separate applications for consideration for funding.

Applications which involve student participation at schools during regular hours or offsite travel during the school day must include some indication of Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) support through: 1) support from a responsible representative of the administration of the schools involved; or 2) a statement from the teachers whose classes will be involved.
