FY26 Local Priorities

The Wareham Cultural Council develops funding priorities based on results from our community input survey and strategic discussions at our local meetings. We review a wide range of proposals that are not all within the town of Wareham, so we use our priorities and guidelines to support our funding decisions. The Wareham Cultural Council will give priority to:
Grants that serve community events within the town of Wareham.
Projects that serve children, teens, seniors, families, and those in need.
Projects that focus on cultural diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Projects that support a wide variety of engaging, entertaining, and educational endeavors.

FY26 Local Guidelines

In addition to the state criteria, applications will be evaluated using the following review measures:
– The way in which the program meets our local priorities, including its support of the Arts, Humanities, or Sciences.
– The way in which the program supports the town of Wareham.
– The means by which the program promotes access to the diverse groups of cultural needs of our town.
– Financial need.
– Clear and focused planning written in the grant proposal.
