Amount Available for Granting in FY 2020

(Information not yet available)

HLCC Funding Priorities:

The HLCC typically receives requests totaling more than twice the amount of money available for us to grant. The goal of the HLCC is to provide some funding to as many qualified projects as we can. Local council support is not intended to be used as the sole source of funding for projects of a continuing nature. Most projects receive only partial funding, and for no more than three consecutive years.

The HLCC supports projects that demonstrate a clear public benefit. Emphasis is placed on supporting local artists presenting work in Holyoke. Funding is made available to the widest range of community cultural needs possible.

As determined by the most recent community survey, the following are funding priorities:

arts education in the schools
public events like concerts or festivals
support for community arts and cultural organizations
field trips for students to museums or performances
projects celebrating diversity

HLCC Local Guidelines:

Funded projects must be completed in the calendar year (January - December) following the October application deadline.
Field trips must be to destinations within the state.
Performing applicants must have a secured venue in Holyoke at the time of application.

We will accept paper applications in addition to online applications this year. If you are applying on paper, please request a copy of the application via the contact info listed on the Council Information tab. Paper applications can be mailed or delivered to:

Holyoke Local Cultural Council
City Hall
Office of the Mayor
536 Dwight Street
Holyoke, MA 01040

This year's deadline is Monday, October 16. All applications must be submitted in person or postmarked by this date.
