CHARLTON CULTURAL COUNCIL SEEKS GRANT FUNDING PROPOSALS

The Charlton Cultural Council has set a deadline of October 15, 2026 for organizations, schools, and individuals to apply for grants supporting Charlton community cultural activities including community-oriented arts, humanities, and science programs. The online Grant Application form and more information about the Charlton Cultural Council Program are available at https://www.townofcharlton.net/322/Cultural-Council.

This year, the Charlton Cultural Council will distribute almost $10,000 in grants. CCC will prioritize partial funding of multiple projects over fully funding fewer projects, therefore allowing more programs for the Charlton community.

According to Charlton Cultural Council Chairperson Kathleen Hylka, these grants can support a variety of artistic projects and activities in Charlton, MA, including exhibits, festivals, field trips, short-term artist residencies, performances in schools, workshops, and lectures.

New applicants and new programs will be prioritized over repeat applicants and repeat programs to broaden the variety of cultural events and activities that we are able to bring to our community. Performances that take place in Charlton and are for the general public will be prioritized ahead of target audiences, as the CCC strives to fund projects that will benefit as much of the Charlton community as possible.

The Charlton Cultural Council is part of a network of 329 Local Cultural Councils (LCCs) serving all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The LCC Program is the nation's largest grassroots cultural funding network, supporting thousands of community-based projects in the arts, humanities, and sciences every year. The state legislature provides an annual appropriation to Mass Cultural Council, a state agency that allocates funds to each community.

For local guidelines and complete information on the Charlton Cultural Council, send a message to [email protected]. The online Grant Application form and more information about the Charlton Cultural Council Program are available at https://www.townofcharlton.net/322/Cultural-Council.
