The Council evaluates grant applications based on our Local Guidelines and Funding Priorities. These priorities come from our extensive outreach to the community to find out their preferences for cultural programming.

Here are some steps to take:

• To write a compelling grant, be sure to read about our Funding Priorities.

• View Mass Cultural Council’s grant application information HERE.

• Watch the FCTV recording of the Council’s Information session HERE. You can view the slides from the presentations below and download the files HERE.

• Submit an application that responds to our priorities through Mass Cultural Council’s online portal, SmartSimple before Oct. 16.
