FY23 Local Priorities
The Milford Cultural Council (MCC) seeks to promote excellence, inclusion, education, and diversity in the arts, humanities, and sciences to foster a rich cultural life for all Milford residents. In consideration of feedback from the community, the MCC will prioritize proposals in the visual arts (including public art and instruction), music, performing arts, and the sciences.
FY23 Local Guidelines
In addition to the funding priorities previously listed, the MCC will prioritize applications that meet the following criteria:
* The proposal is well researched and documented with a clear and complete plan for execution, including information about sponsors, funding sources, confirmed project location, audience, dates, and costs involved.
* The proposal primarily benefits Milford citizens.
* The proposal serves a large percentage of the population.
* The proposal recognizes the cultural diversity of Milford.
* The proposal does not rely totally on MCC funding.
