The Clinton Cultural Council is encouraging applicants to apply for its grant program to provide cultural programs that would benefit Clinton residents.
Donor Name: Mass Cultural Council
State: Massachusetts
Town: Clinton
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 10/17/2022
Size of the Grant: $13,600
Details:
The mission of the council is to provide cultural programs that would benefit as many Clinton residents as possible. The Clinton Cultural Council gives priority to events centered in Clinton first and then considers outside programs that reach the greatest number of citizens residing in Clinton. When possible they encourage in-person programs and give consideration to qualifying applicants who haven’t been awarded grant money in past cycles so as not to always favor repeat applicants who meet criteria year after year. Preference is given to applications with a definite program and location. Letters of support from the proposed venue are encouraged. They are particularly sensitive to requests by the local school system and public library for field trips or cultural events that otherwise might not occur for budgetary reasons. Only online applications will be accepted.
Funding Information
- Grant Amount: $13,600
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must reside or be located in Massachusetts. Local Cultural Councils may accept applications from anyone included in the following list:
- Individuals: Individual applicants must show that a public benefit results from the project for which they are applying. A public presentation of an individual’s work may provide the needed public benefit. Individual members of Local Cultural Councils may apply for funding from a Local Cultural Council but must observe all conflict-of-interest laws and regulations in the granting process. Local Cultural Councils may also establish their own rules regarding applications from council members as long as these are consistent with the state’s conflict of interest laws.
- Incorporated private nonprofit organizations.
- Unincorporated associations that can establish a nonprofit objective. A group of individuals coming together with a common purpose (e.g., local community band, theater group) that do not have nonprofit status.
- Public schools, libraries, other municipal agencies, and the Local Cultural Council itself.
- Religious organizations. Religious organizations or groups with a religious affiliation are eligible to apply for funding for cultural programming that is available to the general public. LCCs can only approve applications that are primarily cultural in their intent and do not have the effect of advancing religion.
