FY22 Allocation
$10,300
FY22 Local Priorities
The Walpole Cultural Council has surveyed community members online and in person to solicit feedback on its 2021-22 priorities. The responses we’ve received have indicated that the community’s interests in cultural programming have been significantly affected by our extraordinary social circumstances–namely, the ongoing global pandemic and national reckoning on matters of race and culture. Specifically, the community has indicated a wish for the Walpole Cultural Council to prioritize programming in the areas of music; nature and science; and cultural diversity. In addition, we believe it will be important to prioritize programs that remain accessible to the public given current social distancing guidelines.
FY22 Local Guidelines
Should you have any questions about preparing your application, please contact us prior to the October 15 deadline via our email address: walpolelcc@gmail.com
No hand-delivered applications will be accepted.
