Boxford Cultural Council
The Boxford Cultural Council is a community organization supported through funding from Mass Cultural Council. The BCC is made up of community members who vet and vote on grant applications submitted to us on an annual basis. We believe a strong presence of the arts, science, and humanities is essential to building a vibrant community and a thriving educational system. Our primary objective is to develop and fund projects that weave these elements into the fabric of our community. The BCC actively encourages local artisans, musicians, teachers, and school organizations to submit grants for consideration to the Cultural Council.

FY25 Local Priorities
Programs and projects that engage community members in the cultural arts and sciences are encouraged. Applications can also focus on the humanities (history, social studies, philosophy, literature).
Grants for cultural activities for youth, families, and/or adults of all ages are welcome. Cultural projects that help youth and adults connect and contribute to Boxford are also encouraged.
Preference is given, but not limited to local applicants (“local” meaning Boxford residents or those in surrounding communities).
The proposed grant must directly serve Boxford residents.
FY25 Local Guidelines
All grant submissions must include a letter from the hosting venue stating their willingness to host the program. When possible, the letter should also state the date and time of the program. If a venue is needed, please email BCC, and we will work with you to connect with a local venue or organization before the October 16th application deadline.
Applicants must credit the Boxford Cultural Council and Mass Cultural Council on ALL advertising and promotional materials. Grant applicants are responsible for all promotion for their program or projects with the collaborating venue or organization, (Library, School, Church, Council On Aging, Community Center, etc.).
