Grant Application Window Opens Sept. 2, 2025

The Concord Cultural Council (CCC) has announced the availability of online applications for grants to support programs in the arts for all age groups. The applications will be found at http://massculturalcouncil.org/communities/local-cutural-council-program/. and must be submitted by October 16 for consideration.

Programs in music, dance, visual arts, poetry, literature, drama, the humanities and scientific interpretation will be considered. Applicants must specify a venue for their activity and a specific date or on-going timeline. The CCC has approximately $10,000 in allocated funds to distribute and awarded grants typically range from $150-$500. The CCC does not fully fund any project. Preference is given to applicants who live or work in Concord and who offer fully accessible programs and presentations that specifically benefit a wide range of audiences in Concord. Applicants must demonstrate a record of engagement in the type of activity for which the funds are requested.

 Applicants are notified by the end of December and programs submitted cannot be modified without CCC review and approval.

There is an optional online training program on September 9 at 6:00 pm. The session will review the application process and the MCC staff will respond to any questions. The training is free, but pre-registration is required. Once registered attendees will be sent the Zoom link. The link to register is at https://massculturalcouncil.org/event/local-cultural-council-grants-info-session-2/

The list of past recipients is on the Concord Cultural Council’s website https://www.concordma.gov/1074/Concord-Council. On this same page you will find the list of guidelines and priorities for applications.
