FY24 Local Priorities
The Wilbraham Cultural Council mission is to enrich the artistic and cultural life of Wilbraham, leading our residents to feel a deeper sense of community. The WCC funds high quality arts and education programs that will be of interest and benefit to as many segments of our population as possible. WCC encourages grant applications from individuals, organizations and private businesses in support of arts (including in performance, music, visual arts, media, folk, design, literary and interdisciplinary arts); humanities (including history, sonically studies, philosophy, criticism, and literature); and interpretative sciences (engaging people in learning about nature, science, and technology in ways that connect to their lives).
We are a group of civic minded volunteers who desire to promote and facilitate cultural activities and the arts, humanities and sciences in Wilbraham.
FY24 Local Guidelines
Grants are awarded to support the arts, humanities, interpretive sciences, visual arts, performing artists, science educators and historians, as well as community, business and civic groups, schools, neighborhood centers and community associations. We accept grants applications from individuals, organizations and private businesses. We make reimbursement based grants.
