Hopedale Cultural Council
The Hopedale Cultural Council will award funding to applicants of locally sponsored programs that meet the needs of the Hopedale Community. We encourage programs that support local artists, performers and venues.
Applications must state the specific date, time, place of the event and supporting documentation of sponsor. Online programs will be considered, however, the applicant is responsible for providing the online platform. Proof of other financial support or resources must also be included.
Schools may still apply for field trips using the standard grant application.
Online applications are preferred, however, the Hopedale Cultural Council will still accept paper applications. To request a paper application please contact HCC Chairperson Billi Manning or Grant Coordinator Sally Decelles.
