FY24 Local Priorities
The Warwick Cultural Council is dedicated to promoting arts and culture in our
small but vibrant town. We strive to fund programs that enrich residents of all ages.
We help fund projects including Field Trips for the Warwick Community School,
Pioneer Valley Regional High School, and Franklin County Technical School, as
well as the Library, the Arts Council, the Historical Society, the Council on Aging,
and other local and regional organizations.
FY24 Local Guidelines
Residents and artists from the immediate local area are given preference. Careful
scrutiny is given to repeat requests with an inclination not to fund the same
programs year after year, with the exceptions being organizations soliciting partial
funding from a number of communities benefiting from the program. We try to
fully fund as many applications as possible; where the decision to partially fund a
project is made priority will be given to those projects that are able to move
forward with partial funding.
Applicants are encouraged to contact a local organization that would be willing to
sponsor their event. Venues and potential dates for events must be listed on the
grant application. For example, if the applicant plans to present at the library, the
library must confirm in writing, and the confirmation must be included with the
application.
Once an application has been approved, recipients must inform the Council in
writing at least 60 days prior to their event with the date, time, and location. Extensions due to extenuating circumstances will be permitted by written request. Travel and refreshments are not funded. Applicants will be responsible for their own publicity. Normal Covid protocols will be observed.
We will try to fund a variety of projects that not only serve many different age
groups but also will consistently attract a large majority of townspeople.
