Council Priorities

Amount Available for Granting in FY 2021

$5,800

Application forms are available online at www.mass-culture.org where applicants must complete the form and submit it online by the October deadline. The Berkley Public Library offers access to the internet and will be available to help access the online application during regular library hours. NOTE: PAPER APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

Programs must be specifically described with the names, artist fees and qualifications of the individual(s) leading the activity. Supporting documentation is optional and is not to exceed three pages. If submitting more than one application, please prioritize them.

All events must be held at physically accessible facilities.

Proposals are evaluated by the following criteria: benefit to the community

quality of the activity

clarity of the proposal

evidence of planning

previous program success of the sponsoring group.

School related proposals must be for enrichment activities and not for programs, supplies or salaries that should be part of the school budget.

The Council encourages new and innovative programs. Repeat programs are carefully scrutinized. Funding is more likely when an application is submitted with a town sponsor.

Disapproved grant recipients will receive their notifications approximately two months after the October deadline. Approximately three months after the October deadline, the Berkley Cultural Council will confirm funding with successful applicants.

Applicants have one year from the date of final approval to complete their project and submit the request for reimbursement. Extensions may be requested in writing but are not automatically granted.

An online application will be available October 1.
