FY27 Local Priorities
The Dartmouth Cultural Council welcomes diverse applications for creative projects in the broad fields of arts, humanities and sciences* that significantly benefit all Dartmouth residents, including programs benefiting school-age children and the elderly.
The Council encourages projects that address underserved communities including BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color) communities, individuals with disabilities, and low-income communities.
*refer to the “Local Cultural Council – Program Guidelines” for definitions of arts, humanities and sciences as they apply to the DCC application process.
FY27 Local Guidelines
The Council will use the following guidelines in reviewing applications: • Projects taking place in Dartmouth’s neighboring towns will be considered, however applicants are requested to estimate the number of Dartmouth residents to be served by the project. • Applicants must include a letter or other signed form of confirmation from your venue, local sponsor or host organization verifying the location of your project or performance. • The Council encourages applicants to solicit additional funds and usually does not fund the same applicant for more than three (3) consecutive years. The Council will consider funding applicants beyond the third year if their proposal demonstrates growth, innovation or a new initiative.
