FY25 Local Priorities
Based on the 2024 Community Input Survey, the Pepperell Cultural Council gives funding priority to:
• Communitywide, multigenerational events
• Programs that support local artists and performers
• Programs that take place in the town of Pepperell
• Science, nature and environmental programs that benefit youth, and all ages
• Programs that feature Pepperell’s unique natural resources and history
• Public art projects.
FY25 Local Guidelines
• Preference will be given to applicants who are Pepperell residents or sponsored by an organization in Pepperell. Support letters from co-participants (collaborators, organizations, venue/ location partners, municipal and permitting agencies) are required.
• The Project/Event must occur in Pepperell or at least benefit Pepperell residents as demonstrated by solid evidence.
• A confirmed date and venue (or a date range for ongoing projects) is required. Provide supporting documentation.
• We recommend applicants not depend solely on the Pepperell Cultural Council for funding. List other sources of funding on application and mark them as confirmed, pending, or an identified opportunity.
• Repeat projects will be considered, but not indefinitely.
• The scheduled project should take place during the current MCC funding cycle (Jan – Dec 2025).
