Congratulations to Massachusetts’ 329 Local Cultural Councils (LCCs) for awarding over 6,300 grants totaling almost $4M in fiscal year 2019!
Our Local Cultural Councils represent the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the nation, making rich cultural experiences available to every Massachusetts resident. While LCCs received $3.4M in state allocations this year, they also raised close to $500,000 from local and other sources for granting.
