Beverly Cultural Council
The Beverly Cultural Council is pleased to be one of 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts to award funds in partnership with the Mass Cultural Council. These funds are granted to qualified individuals and organizations to support cultural projects that benefit the Beverly community. Eligible disciplines include arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences.
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 1, 2024, as the opening date for submitting the online applications for grant requests. October 16, 2024, 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 Council will hold an online informational meeting on September 18, 2024, to answer any questions about the application and award process.
Application forms and more information about the Local Cultural Council Program are available online at http://www.mass-culture.org/lcc_public.aspx.
Programs taking place in Beverly between 1/1/2025 and 12/31/2025 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.
