Funding Priorities
See standard MCC form
We give priority to programs that will benefit many residents rather than a few.
We may choose to limit the number of applications that may be funded by one individual/group, depending on the amount of our allocation for each cycle.
We may choose to partially fund many projects rather fully fund a few.
According to our community survey, we give priority to projects in the following order of preference:
- Community-wide gatherings: Festivals, Concerts, Plays.
- Local History, Cultural Diversity, Library Programs.
- Nature, Science, and Environmental Education projects.
- Enhancement of School Programs.
- Local Artists through community projects.
- Restoration or Preservation Projects. .
Local Guidelines
*Applicants are responsible for arranging the date, time, place, and publicity for their program.
*For FY13 grants, the program must take place within the 2013 calendar year, January 1st to December 31st. * Any school or organization submitting multiple requests for funding must prioritize their projects otherwise the DCC will prioritize according to our judgment. *Activities and cultural events that take place must reach the largest potential audiencies. The event must have a specific date, time and location. The DCC gives priority to applicants that have a secured an event date and venue location.
