Mass Cultural Council Adopts $34M FY25 Spending Plan
Agency to award $26.7M in grants to bolster the Commonwealth’s creative and cultural sector
Lisa Simmons, Program Manager
In FY25 Mass Cultural Council will invest $5.7 million into the Local Cultural Council (LCC) Program, the nation’s largest grassroots cultural funding network.
LCCs provide arts and cultural grants to every municipality in Massachusetts through the efforts of more than 2,400 volunteers. They fund some 7,500 public projects annually including everything from field trips to lectures, festivals, and dance and theater performances. Mass Cultural Council allocations to LCCs range from $5,700-$305,600, based on a formula that reflects state aid to municipalities.
