Council Priorities:
We encourage and wish to support programs across all disciplines – the visual arts, music, humanities, drama, and interpretive sciences.
Our goal is to provide financial support to projects that appeal to the diverse population and cultures of our community - families, adults, youth, and/or seniors.
Priority is given to applications from Melrose organizations and individuals.
We encourage first time applicants.
Local Requirements:
Priority will be given to events with a secured local venue and firm date for the upcoming calendar year (January 1 – December 31, 2020).
Due to limited funding, the Melrose Cultural Council grants only partial funds for a project. Programs must have additional sources of funding.
Ideally programs will take place in a handicapped accessible Melrose location (with the exception of field trip grants).
We do not accept requests for capital expenditures, individual scholarships, refreshments, or multi-year grant projects.
Additional Information:
All applications must be submitted online; paper applications will not be accepted.
Applicants are encouraged to include a letter of support or confirmation of the local venue.
Three pages of supplemental material can be submitted online. If necessary, additional materials can be mailed to: Diane Wall 131 Orris Street, Melrose MA 02176.
