Eligibility Criteria
- Types of grants. A Local Cultural Council may approve grants for a broad range of projects and programs, such as operating support, ticket subsidies, field trips, artist residencies, public art, fellowships, community events/programs, site specific projects, and other activities, based on local priorities. Each Local Cultural Council determines its own local eligibility requirements based on a community engagement process.
- Program eligibility. Applicants may apply for grants for programs that take place during an 18-month window of eligibility from July 1, preceding the application deadline in October, through December 31 of the following year. This means that applicants may apply for projects that have already happened or which happen prior to grant announcements, with the knowledge that funding is not guaranteed. Local Cultural Councils are authorized to establish a smaller window of eligibility; if they do so, they must publish the eligible dates in their council guidelines.
- Applicant eligibility. Applicants must reside or be located in Massachusetts. Local Cultural Councils may accept applications from anyone included in the following list:
- Individuals
- Incorporated private nonprofit organizations
- Unincorporated associations that can establish a nonprofit objective
- Public schools, libraries, other municipal agencies, and the Local Cultural Council itself
- Religious organizations.
2023 Local Guidelines
- In addition to the MCC mandated criteria, the Hull Cultural Council will consider the following criteria in assessing applications:
- The potential to promote public education and access in the Arts, Humanities, or Interpretive Sciences in the Community of Hull.
- The amount of Community support and involvement in the project.
- The financial need of the project (the project’s potential funding from other sources).
- IMPORTANT – Grant proposals must include a local sponsoring organization or venue. Performers seeking Hull Curtual Council funds are advised to arrange a local venue, or sponsor, or both, prior to submitting a grant, so as to have the grant eligible for consideration. Lack of venue has been a consistant problem with past grant applications.
- Depending on the number of eligible grants received, proposals may be partially funded.
