FY22 Local Priorities
The North Brookfield Cultural Council prioritizes those proposals that have the greatest impact on the community.
We prioritize proposals that serve specific audiences as well as those that work to bring together diverse groups.
School programs, senior programs, library programs and local organizations are priorities and should demonstrate the backing of the appropriate authorities.
In order to maximize the funds, the council may partially fund a proposal.
