About the Boston Cultural Council Organizational Grant:
The Boston Cultural Council (BCC) distributes general operating grants annually through the BCC Organizational Grant. These funds are sourced from the City of Boston’s Operating Budget, and the Mass Cultural Council (MCC), a state agency, to strengthen small and mid-sized nonprofit and fiscally-sponsored organizations, as well as fiscally sponsored unincorporated entities and artist collectives. The goal is to invest in the overall operations and capacity-building of organizations that:
Fosters innovative and original arts, cultural, and creative programming,
Advance a more just and inclusive creative sector that is responsive, community-informed, and accessible, and
Improve the quality of life in our city through meaningful arts, cultural, and creative programming.
The BCC grant program works in tandem with other programs within MOAC to ensure that all Boston residents–regardless of background, income, or neighborhood–have access to and can participate in arts and culture as a part of daily life.
The BCC is a 7+ member council composed of Boston residents and is facilitated by the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture (MOAC). Council members work in partnership with MOAC on the strategic direction of the grant program, and they also provide final approval of selected grantees. Council members are selected on the basis of their lived experience within Boston’s arts, cultural, and creative communities and their demonstrated commitment to cultural equity.
