Hosting Meaningful LCC Grant Receptions
Thoughtful event details can build community, spark collaboration, and amplify the impact of local arts and culture
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).

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.
