FY26 Local Priorities
Please note these important priorities for funding by the Ware Cultural Council:
1) The Ware Cultural Council has adopted a reimbursement-based grant process. The Reimbursement Process will pay the awards to grantees after funds have been expended and all reimbursement forms, receipts, and publicity requirements have been submitted to the council.
2) The project must take place in Ware.
3) A venue for the project must be secured with a local organization, and a letter of support from the venue must accompany the grant application. For information about possible local venues, please contact the council chair.
4) Grant applications will only be considered for events that take place during the 2026 grant cycle year. For an approved award, the date of the event must be held within 2026 calendar year.
