Martha's Vineyard Cultural Council

News & Events

The Martha's Vineyard Cultural Council will hold its annual community input session at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 3, 2010, in the basement meeting room at the Howes House, 1042A State Road, West Tisbury, Mass. (opposite Alley's General Store). The Council members would like to hear from Vineyarders about how they would like their tax dollars spent as the Council goes about its business supporting the arts, humanities and interpretative sciences through its Local Cultural Council Grants Program and its PASS Grants to the schools.

Funding Priorities

Priority will be given to events scheduled to benefit the year-round community of Martha's Vineyard, not just the summertime population.

Local Guidelines

Grant applicants who are not based in one of the six towns of the Island of Martha's Vineyard must have a local partner or host. Off-Island applications must include a letter of support from their Martha's Vineyard sponsor specifically describing how this project would benefit the Island community.

The deadline for extension requests is the next October 1 that follows the receipt of your grant letter.

An example: You submit your grant application by the deadline of October 15, 2008, and you receive a grant-award letter dated December 1, 2008. Under program guidelines, you have one year from the date of the award letter to complete your project and request reimbursement.

But if you needed time beyond December 1, 2009 to complete your project and request reimbursement, you would have to request an extension from the council by October 1, 2009. Granting of that extension is not automatic and is subject to the vote of the full council.
