FY24 Local Guidelines

In addition to the MCC guidelines, the Oxford Cultural Council has established the following guidelines:

1. Projects should be of demonstrated quality.

2. Projects must take place within and/or involve residents from Oxford.

3. Prior written commitment from an Oxford Institution or Organization (Local Sponsor) must be obtained and contained with the grant application.

3. Any school or organization submitting multiple requests for funding must prioritize their projects. Otherwise the OCC will prioritize the requests.

4. We cannot be held responsible for applications lost in the mail. If an applicant can demonstrate that an application was sent by the postmarked deadline, the Council will consider the application on time.

5. If the event could be held with partial funding please be sure to specify that in the application.
