Lee Cultural Council
MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of Massachusetts local and regional cultural councils is to support public programs that promote access, education, diversity, and excellence in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences in communities across the commonwealth. The mission of the Lee Cultural Council is to promote a rich and diverse cultural life in the Lee community, strongly supporting programs, events, and performances which entertain and/or encourage critical thinking, creativity, and community building.
Priorities
Grantees must have a venue and letter of support. It must be clear how their project will benefit the citizens of Lee. The Lee Cultural Council does not accept Direct Grants but use Reimbursement Grants which need to be mailed in to the Lee Cultural Council, Town Hall, Lee, MA 01238. We also supply feedback forms for grantees to give attendees and mail back with their reimbursement forms.

FY27 Local Guidelines
Applicants should indicate a venue and proposed date(s) for their project and have a letter of support from the venue.
When returning reimbursement forms, just send some form of proof that your event took place and that you helped with promotion (ex:a picture, flyer or poster)
We do not disperse Direct Grants that pay before the event or does partial payments, We accept traditional reimbursement forms after the event has been completed.
If funded, applicants may receive partial funding only, and are therefore strongly encouraged to seek additional financial support for their project.
Grantees must promote their event, and submit proof with their reimbursement form.
