FY26 Allocation
$11,600
FY26 Local Priorities
Applications will be evaluated using the following review priorities:
• We give priority to events that will benefit many residents rather than a few.
• We give priority to artists, performers and presenters from our community who meet the state and local guidelines.
• We may choose to partially fund many events rather than fully fund a few.
• We may choose to limit the number of applications that may be funded to one individual/group depending on the amount of our allocation for each cycle.
According to our community input, we will give priority to events in the following order of preference:
• Events that are geared to families, senior citizens, children.
• Events that are presented as concerts, family events, artistic cultural events, or lectures.
FY26 Local Guidelines
In addition to the state criteria, applications will be evaluated using the following local guidelines:
• Applicant’s event must have a DATE, TIME, and LOCATION. The applicant must submit a WRITTEN COMMITMENT of location with the online application.
• The applicant is responsible for PUBLICIZING their event.
• Applicant’s event should take place within the Dudley zip code, 01571.
• The event must take place within the calendar year, January 1st to December 31st.
• The event must reach the largest potential audience.
• Any school or organization submitting multiple requests for funding must prioritize their events, otherwise the DCC will prioritize according to our judgment.
• All applications are submitted through the Mass Cultural Council’s online Grants Management System SmartSimple.
