📣 📣 📣 The results from the FY26 CDF Impact Survey are in! For the fourth year, Dance/NYC and A.R.T./New York have partnered, with Carrie Blake as our researching partner, to administer a survey to all NYC arts and cultural institutions impacted by FY26 CDF (Cultural Development Fund) Awards. 📣 📣
🔎📊 This year, we had the highest number of responses for this survey to date. 199 responses were collected between January and March 2026, representing 14% of the applicant pool. Our goal for the survey has been to add to our existing dataset that continues to demonstrate the impact of the CDF process and funding on the NYC arts and culture ecosystem.
🎉THANK YOU to all the individuals and organizations who took time to participate in the survey. Your contribution has made a huge impact, as this survey provides a powerful tool as we advocate for more resources and a more equitable distribution of funds for arts and culture.
