FY27 Local Guidelines

The Rockport Cultural Council funds a wide variety of projects that serve Rockport. These projects involve the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences. We award small grants, typically from $250 to $750, usually for things like artists’ and speakers’ fees, equipment rental, publicity and publications, workshop supplies, theatrical sets, preservation of local stories, related transcriptions, and transportation. We do not fund brick-and-mortar projects or scholarships. Grant applications are made directly to MCC.

We provide tutoring for grant writing and appreciate seeing draft applications prior to the deadline. Please inquire with any questions.
