FY25 Allocation

$10,200

FY25 Local Priorities

Each year, CCC reviews our Priorities and Guidelines with the help of public input to ensure we are best serving our community. The responses inform CCC on the types of projects that are most important to the people of Charlton. CCC uses this feedback to determine its Funding Priorities for its annual grant cycle. Projects and programs that align with the Funding Priorities are given preference in the Council’s review of applications.

Based on Community feedback, our Funding Priorities for FY25 currently are:

Project Categories | Projects that focus on Public Art, Musical Performances, Educational and STEM programs for all age groups from children to seniors.

Project Content | New applicants and programs are prioritized over repeat grantees.

Partial Funding | CCC will prioritize partial funding of multiple projects over fully funding fewer projects.

Project Reach | Performances for the general public will be prioritized ahead of target audiences as the CCC strives to fund diverse and inclusive projects that will benefit as much of the community as possible.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Access & Belonging (DEIAB) | Projects that elevate the voices and experiences of historically marginalized groups to highlight the diversity of Charlton. Projects should create opportunities for artists and community members through a DEIA lens.

Locations | Projects that take place in Charlton or benefit areas of Charlton that are historically underserved.

Events | We will be prioritizing applications submitted for entertainment at the 2025 Charlton Cultural Council Art Show
