Announcement | Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Assessment

Forthcoming survey to provide NYFA with integral insights into the scope of our reach and highlight areas of improvement.

At New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), we realize that pursuing values of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) is critical to our mission of serving the creative community. These initiatives are central to our current strategic plan, which is why in FY20 NYFA is undergoing a comprehensive equity, inclusion, and accessibility assessment. Conducted by external consultants, the assessment will evaluate our facilities, programs, and online content in an effort to increase access to and engagement in our services.

NYFA’s programs are created with the intent to be inclusive and representative of the vibrant and diverse creative community. However, in order to know how to best serve you, we need to know more about you. In the coming weeks, we will be sharing a brief survey with the NYFA community. Your participation will provide us with integral insight into the scope of our reach and highlight areas of improvement. We thank you for joining us in our mission to increase access for all NYFA artists.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected] with the subject line “NYFA Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility Assessment.”
