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

2023 Local Guidelines
- The purpose of Rockland Cultural Council (RCC) is to provide arts and cultural programs of excellence to their citizens. It is their goal to tap the resources of as many of the arts as possible to provide diverse programming for all age groups. They try to touch as large a percentage of people as possible with each event.
- RCC always welcomes the representative of an application during the Application Review process (please refer to open meeting notifications).
- RCC receives a large number of applications for a limited amount of funds. In the interest of making funds available to a greater number of applicants, they sometimes do not supply the full requested amount, but only a portion.
