The Dracut Cultural Council is accepting applications for its grant program to support many local agencies, groups, and schools that bring arts, sciences, cultural programming to the community.
Donor Name: Mass Cultural Council
State: Massachusetts
Town: Dracut
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 10/17/2022
Size of the Grant: $23,900
Grant Duration: 1 Year
Details:
The Dracut Cultural Council will support requests for field trips; however, given the demand, they are only able to support ONE field trip request/grade/classroom. With their limited funding they are trying to bring cultural programs to the largest group possible, so grade-wide or school-wide presentations are also attractive. Given that they are an all-volunteer council, they require applicants to have secured a venue and/or location for their project BEFORE submitting an application to them.
