FY26 Local Priorities
The Stockbridge Cultural Council, with funding from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the Town of Stockbridge, awards grants to individuals and organizations to help underwrite projects, programs, and events in the arts, humanities, and sciences to foster a rich cultural life for Stockbridge residents. We are committed to supporting the work of local artists, teachers, students, musicians, poets, photographers, historians, cultural institutions, schools and other groups with a focus on making cultural activities accessible and engaging to all. New and innovative projects are encouraged.
The Town of Stockbridge will augment the state allocation for the town with an additional $10,000 in local funds. This grant cycle, we will award approximately $15,700 in grants.
FY26 Local Guidelines
Applicants must reside in Berkshire County, or have a strong organizational or individual presence in the County. The Council will continue its efforts to provide meaningful support to Stockbridge-based applicants, to applicants whose projects take place in a Stockbridge venue, and to projects that positively impact Stockbridge residents. If the applicant is not the hosting venue, a venue must be identified in the application. A letter of support from the venue is required, except in cases where the venue is organizing and completing the project (school, library, theater, etc.). Grants are awarded on a reimbursement basis.
