FY25 Local Guidelines
The Woburn Cultural Council supports community cultural projects through its grant program. Mass Cultural Council is the governing organization from which funds are derived, and the Commonwealth has guidelines to which the local council must adhere. Woburn’s guidelines are in addition to those of the state. The Woburn Cultural Council Guidelines are specific criteria that Woburn’s local cultural council has determined will enhance and encourage cultural events within our community. The Cultural Council will do its best to fund projects that benefit the greatest number of people while funding various programs for all ages. Applications must be submitted via Mass Cultural Council’s web-based form.
Applicants will have an arranged handicap-accessible venue for their activity and date or general timeframe.
Grantee must include the Mass Cultural Council logo and will include a statement acknowledging that “The project is supported by the Woburn Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Mass Cultural Council.” in all promotional material/publicity.
Reimbursement forms must be submitted to the Local Cultural Council within 1 year of the application being awarded.
