FY26 Local Guidelines

PLEASE NOTE: The Beverly Cultural Council will not fund applicants more than 3 years in a row. If your project has received grant funding from the BCC for 3 consecutive years, you must take 1 year off from the application process before you may reapply.

The Mass Cultural Council and the Beverly Cultural Council have set Sept 2, 2025, as the opening date for submitting the online applications for grant requests. October 16, 2025, is the deadline for organizations, schools, and individuals to apply for grants that support cultural activities in the community. Submission of applications must be made online.

The Mass Cultural Council will hold an online grants info session meeting on September 9, 2025, at 6:00pm to walk applicants through the application process. Register here: https://massculturalcouncil.org/event/local-cultural-council-grants-info-session-2/

Programs taking place in Beverly between 1/1/2026 and 12/31/2026 will be considered. Due to the limited funds available and the high demand for support, Beverly Cultural Council grant awards typically range from $250 to $1,500.
