CDF Panelist Submission


DCLA is currently inviting submissions for panelists who can bring a wide range of perspectives, expertise, and professional backgrounds to advise the agency on public funds awarded to support New York City cultural public services.

Eligible FY25 CDF applications will go through a competitive panel review during spring and summer of 2024.  Peer panelists with current and relevant expertise in New York City’s nonprofit arts and culture ecosystem will independently review and score approximately 20 designated CDF applications per panel. Independent evaluation will then be followed by a one-day virtual panel meeting where panelists will discuss and confirm scores for each application assigned.

Panelists are paid an honorarium of $480 in recognition of their time and participation.

Please complete the Panelist Submission Form if you wish to be considered for FY25 CDF Panel service.
