FY22 Allocation
$5,000
FY22 Local Priorities
We place a special emphasis on projects that serve school-age children and the elderly, and are seeking to expand the types of projects funded to include more diverse art forms as well as projects that address the range of human diversity and the interests of the entire local community.
FY22 Local Guidelines
Projects must have an identified local venue (or be accessible online) and a projected completion date in order to be considered. All proposed projects must meet current Massachusetts state guidelines for public gatherings. Proposals must mention how their project would meet these guidelines.
Our Council accepts both online and paper applications. We ask that you limit your supporting materials to the three pages specified by the Mass Cultural Council.
