Funding La Crosse’s art, music and cultural organizations with UFAH’s Dominique Luecke

Dominique Luecke joins La Crosse Talk to discuss the United Fund for the Arts and Humanities (UFAH) 2023 campaign. UFAH has taken 12 local groups under its wing to help get, not only them the funding they need, but also help in allowing the community to better take part in what they’re all doing.

La Crosse Talk airs weekdays 6-9 a.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska). Find all the podcasts here or subscribe to La Crosse Talk PM wherever you get your podcasts.

The 2023 UFAH campaign helps these 12 groups:

• Coulee Chordsmen
• Great River Festival of Arts
• Heider Center for the Arts
• La Crosse Area Youth Symphony Orchestra
• La Crosse BoyChoir
• La Crosse Chamber Chorale
• La Crosse Community Theatre
• La Crosse County Historical Society
• La Crosse Girlchoir
• La Crosse Symphony Orchestra
• Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center
• Pump House Regional Arts Center

They’re halfway to their lofty goal of raising $140,000 for 2023, but we’re well past the halfway point for the year, so they could use everyone’s help.

Luecke talks about what UFAH represents, how they help these groups and the community and how other potential groups could get similar help.

UFAH has been doing this since 1983 and over that time raised more than $4 million to help these and other groups like it in the La Crosse community.
