Alford-Egremont Cultural Council
The Alford-Egremont Cultural Council makes grant decisions following the carefully structured guidelines of the state program while keeping in mind local needs. Essentially, the committee awards grants to programs that benefit the local community with a strong cultural component and that have a determined venue and date. The council consciously attempts to divide the grant funds evenly between programs that serve children/teens and those that benefit the entire community.
