LCC Program Guidelines

In order to apply for an LCC grant, applicants must meet all eligibility and criteria requirements of the LCC Program.

For more detailed information, refer to the full LCC Program Guidelines (PDF).

Ashland Cultural Council Grant Acceptance Requirements

Following are criteria that will be used to filter ACC grant proposals and applications. If the applications fit these criteria, they will be considered for a grant.

1. ACC will give priority to applications that are held within Town of Ashland and benefit Ashland residents

2. We always look for new applicants and/or for new projects each grant season

3. The Project should be held at a venue that is easily accessible to the target audience. For instance, an after school elementary kids project needs to be easily accessible for the child, transportation cannot become an issue. A senior project needs to be reachable to seniors who cannot drive

4. A specific date and location is necessary for the project to be considered.

5. The project should be free to the residents of Ashland.

6. A breakup of expected costs will be required for the application to be considered.

In addition, the following conditions must be met:

· Applicant's project must be clearly related to the arts, humanities, civics, history or interpretive sciences.

· Applicant's project must provide adequate public benefit for the Ashland community and provide adequate public access. Explanation of handicap accessibility of the venue must be included in application.

· Applicant must have a clear, written commitment of location and date of event from sponsoring organization or venue.

· Funding for applicant's project must not substitute for or replace other public funding of programs in the arts, humanities, civics, history or interpretive sciences.

· Ashland Cultural Council funds are not intended to be used as the sole source of funding of projects.

· Ticket prices for events will be taken into consideration during grant approval process and must be included in your application.

· Ashland Cultural Council’s support should be acknowledged during the program/project and verification of such must be provided for grant payout. All marketing materials should clearly indicate that this was possible with help from the Ashland Cultural Council.
