The Montague Cultural Council wishes to encourage proposals from a broad range of applicants and to fund programs that allow Montague residents in all five villages to experience a diverse array of cultural events.
We encourage you to use the new online application system, but we recognize that access to technology is not equitable in our community, and we will provide you with a paper application if you need one. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you need help.
We weigh many factors when making decisions about which proposals to fund. This year we will look most favorably on:
Projects with potential for significant public benefit. In your application, you should:
- Tell us how your program will offer unique experiences to Montague residents.
- Describe specific efforts you will make to ensure that your program is accessible and inclusive.
- Explain how the work will be shared with the general public. (This is especially important if your proposal is for a program that involves a limited number of participants.)
- Tell us how your program will increase opportunities for underserved audiences
Applicants who provide evidence of support and planning. In your application, you must:
- Demonstrate that you have thoroughly considered the logistics of implementing your project. Provide as much specific information as possible about venue, costs, collaborators, and scheduling.
- Be realistic about the amount of funding you request, and explain what you will do if you receive less funding from us than you requested.
Please Include letters of support from venues and collaborators if you can. The online application system will allow you to upload supplemental materials, or you can mail them to:
