Worcester Cultural Council Grant Program to improve the Quality of Life in Massachusetts

Dated: September 14, 2022

The Worcester Cultural Council is seeking applications for its grant program to promote excellence, access, education and diversity in the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences to improve the quality of life for Worcester residents and contribute to the economic vitality of the city.

Donor Name: Mass Cultural Council

State: Massachusetts

City: Worcester

Type of Grant: Grant

Deadline: 10/17/2022

Size of the Grant: $226,600

Details:

The mission of the Worcester Arts Council (WAC) is to promote excellence, access, education and diversity in the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences to improve the quality of life for Worcester residents and contribute to the economic vitality of their city. Grants are awarded to support arts, humanities and interpretive sciences, visual artists, performing artists, science educators, historians and other humanists, as well as community, civic groups, social service organizations, schools, neighborhood centers, and youth, senior and family associations.

Local Priorities

  • Project Categories: Projects that focus on Public Art, Musical Performances, Arts Education & Instruction, and programs for all age groups from children to seniors.
  • Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Access (DEIA): Projects that elevate the voices and experiences of historically marginalized groups to highlight the current and historical diversity of Worcester. Projects should create opportunities for artists and community members through a DEIA lens.
  • Locations: Projects that take place in or benefit areas of Worcester that are historically underserved.

Funding Information

  • Amount: $226,600

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.
