FY25 Local Priorities
Applicants who attend the first Danvers Cultural Council meeting in November. This allows for the council to ask questions of the applicant to better understand the grant application.
Programs that support diversity and inclusion for all residents in the Town of Danvers.
Artists’ projects that would benefit studio art and music programs in the schools in Danvers.
Preference for programs with an emphasis on community healing, building connections, and encouraging inclusion.
Priority will be given to applications that would have the greatest impact on the members of the Danvers community. All projects are required to be held in Danvers, preferably in person. Applicants should already have a confirmed date and venue/location and be working with a Danvers organization or group for their performance or program.
Applicants should not have any outstanding obligations—financial or administrative—to the council.
