FY27 Local Guidelines
The NCC will consider funding programs developed by Nahant residents, or by non-residents sponsored by a Nahant organization, such as the Nahant Council on Aging, the Johnson School, the Nahant Historical Society, the Nahant Library, and the Nahant Cultural Council itself. Applications should include a letter of support from the sponsoring organization.
All funded projects must take place in Nahant, benefit Nahant residents, and be accessible to the general public. Please refer to Mass Cultural Council Guidelines at https://massculturalcouncil.org/documents/lccguidelines.pdf
First-time applicants will receive higher priority for funding.
Applicants are always encouraged to blend additional funding for their projects.
Applications must include financial details and detailed planning for their project, including strategies for publicity.
Applicants must provide references, reviews, demonstrations, online presence or related promotional materials to when submitting their projects for consideration.
Grant recipients are responsible for promotion of their event along with the collaboration of the venue or organization.
Funded programs must credit the NCC and the MCC on all advertising and promotional materials in print or on social media, as well as in person on the day of the event.
The NCC will not accept applications for grant funding where an NCC member is the principal applicant or has a financial interest in the proposed project. The NCC welcomes the contributions of its members to support a proposed project on a volunteer basis and be named in an application as such. In accordance with the Mass Cultural Council, all NCC members will abide by Massachusetts Conflict of Interest policies.
