The Brockton Cultural Council is the local funding arm of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. We believe in the power of culture and strive to support creative visions and visionaries with diverse, equitable, inclusive programming and grant-making. We promote a vision of the world that honors multiple perspectives and makes for a richer and more productive cultural sector. Working through arts, humanities, and sciences, culture is a vital force. Our funding priorities are locally-based organizations, groups and artists who have the most significant impact on Brockton and its citizens.
THE BROCKTON CULTURAL COUNCIL IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS! You must be appointed by the Mayor’s Office. PLEASE CONTACT Clayton Barros in the MAYOR’S OFFICE if you are interested

Any CHANGES TO CURRENTLY FUNDED PROJECTS must be requested in writing, via email or postal mail. We ask that you make your requests via email to: [email protected].
Grant recipients have ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF THEIR APPROVAL NOTIFICATION to request reimbursement. Grant recipients need the BCC’s written permission (email or hard copy) to make changes to their projects. At their discretion, the BCC can approve reasonable extensions and modifications for projects. The modification should not significantly alter the original purpose of the approved application. Project extensions and modifications must be requested in writing (email or hard copy) and responded to in the same manner. In order to review an extension or other modification to an approved grant the BCC will convene a quorum of Council members and vote. The BCC will inform the applicant of their decision in writing and ensure that the vote is reflected in the meeting minutes.”
It is up to the council to determine what is reasonable and what constitutes a significant change to the original purpose of the approved program. The Mass Cultural Council does not limit the eligible window of time for extensions. It is at each council’s discretion.
