Grants are considered on the basis of clarity of purpose, community involvement, financial need and those with a strong focus on the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences.
Grants are considered that are strongly based in support of the Norwell community and its programs. Programs outside of the Norwell community will be evaluated as to the extent that said program serves a significant portion of our town population.
Grants are not to be used to fund projects of a continuing nature unless content/audience varies.
All applications must have a confirmed supporting venue in place, date may be flexible. However the evidence of this set venue is necessary to grant approval. Letter, email of intent from venue acceptable.
