FY24 Local Priorities
The priority for the North Brookfield Local Cultural Council as required by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, includes a focus on the arts, humanities & sciences, events that benefit the public, and grants that do not discriminate in accordance with state law. The results of the 2023 LCC survey showed that the community would like to see more festivals and fairs, musical and theater productions, as well as opportunities that showcase science, nature, and the environment. We are also committed to local community involvement, and as such will be prioritizing local grant submissions as defined by North Brookfield residents and those in the surrounding towns.
FY24 Local Guidelines
Applicants should have an event with a secured venue, tentative date, detailed publicity plan and defined budget outline and addresses the diverse needs of our community.
First year applicants will be given priority over those who submit repeat applications.
Events that benefit the greater public will be given priority over those geared to a target audience.
