FY22 Local Priorities
All applications must be completed online.
Priority will be given to programs that take applicable CDC and State Covid precautions into account while still providing as much accessibility as possible.
Programs proposed to take place at a venue with which the applicant is not affiliated will not be considered unless accompanied by a letter from a representative of that venue reflecting a commitment to host the project. Further, our decisions will take into account any letter of support from a Chesterfield resident.
The Council will seek to achieve a balance between funding well-established previously funded projects and new ones. We will also look for programs that reach different cultural and age groups.
You must note other Local Cultural Councils from which funding is being requested and specify dollar amounts being sought.
