Local Priorities
Their goal is to serve as many residents of Hanover as possible, and to ensure that the beneficiaries of grant programs are of all ages. In order to do this their priorities will be to fund grants that have programs that take place in Hanover. If they are programs that take place outside of Hanover, they will look to see what the impact of the program is on Hanover residents. They will also give priority to grant applicants who have already arranged a venue for their performance or program.
These grants can support a variety of arts, science, and humanities projects, including exhibits, festivals, field trips, short-term artist residencies, or performances in schools, workshops, and lectures.
This year’s allocation to Hanover from the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) is $8,100, and additional funds are available thanks to the past success of Hanover Day.
Eligibility Criteria
- Massachusetts-based individuals, artists, nonprofit community groups, cultural institutions and schools with a cultural project that has a public benefit component may apply for funding.
- Programs must be specifically described with the names, artist fees, qualifications of the individual(s) leading the activity, letters of support from facility to be use and collaborators.
