FY22 Local Priorities
The Groton Cultural Council considers the following priorities when reviewing grants:
1. Who or what organization is sponsoring the grant, particularly in the case of an individual’s application.
2. Whether the proposal has broad appeal.
3. How the activity will benefit the Town of Groton.
4. What are the administrative costs related to the proposal?
5. Is the artist or sponsor a local person or organization?
FY22 Local Guidelines
1. All applicants must have a local partner with letter of endorsement and proof of collaboration and interest.
2. Grants should follow the funding priorities.
3. Please know that the Groton Cultural Council only receives the minimum amount of grant money from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and generally has not more than $5,000 per cycle to award. The Council likes to spread the “wealth” and rarely awards more that $600 per application.
