FY25 Local Guidelines
NCC Guidelines:
A critical factor in our decision to award grants is whether the application meets our priorities and requirements.
The Norwood Cultural Council strives to support individuals and organizations from Norwood and encourages collaboration between agencies and individuals.
The NCC urges individuals and organizations that are not locally based work with a local partner to schedule events.
Applicants should strive to secure matching funds. The NCC is not always able to award the total amount of a request.
Successful applicants will receive a direct grant; funds are for programs conducted between July 1, 2024 (programs already completed) and June 30, 2026.
