Connecting with Mass Municipal Association
We've been talking with municipal leaders about the importance of culture for supporting vibrant communities
Lisa Simmons, Program Manager
In FY22 Mass Cultural Council will invest $4.8 million into the Local Cultural Council (LCC) Program, the nation’s largest grassroots cultural funding network.
Through this program, 329 LCCs — representing every city and town in Massachusetts — support some 6,000 public projects annually that include everything from field trips to lectures, festivals, and dance performances. Our allocations to LCCs range from $5,000-$266,500, based on a formula that reflects state aid to municipalities.
Applications to the LCC Program are now available. The deadline to apply is November 1, 2021 at 11:59pm (ET).
Read more about the application process and FAQs. Watch a recording of our information session and get more details on navigating the new grants management system.
This year we are rolling out a new grants management system, so don’t wait until the last minute to apply.
The LCC Program supports Mass Cultural Council’s goal of enriching communities.
