Each year, the Fairhaven Cultural Council, a local organization supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, awards Local Cultural Council (LCC) grants to support arts and cultural projects that directly benefit our community. For 2017, the council will be awarding approximately $8500 in grants from combined state and local funds.
The council is also pleased to announce that the application process for LCC grants has changed to a new and easier online process thanks to the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Starting this year, the Fairhaven Cultural Council will be accepting online applications only.
On September 1, 2016 online applications will be available from the MCC for LCC applicants via www.mass-culture.org.
With this new system, applicants will complete their forms entirely online and upload any required supplemental materials by the October 17, 2016 deadline.
New this year:
- Applicants must apply online at www.mass-culture.org
- Applicants will no longer be required to make photocopies of their materials or mail any items, saving on application costs and time.
- Field Trip applications will now be streamlined into the Standard Grant application, no separate application forms needed.
For this grant cycle, applicants’ projects or events must take place between January through December 2017. The Fairhaven Cultural Council prioritizes projects that take place in Fairhaven and that most directly benefit Fairhaven residents, as well as first-time applicants and new projects. Please refer to Fairhaven’s official MCC page for full local guidelines and council funding priorities.
Council members would be happy to assist any applicants with this new process by appointment. Contact chairperson Abigail Hevey for assistance or with any questions at abigail.hevey@gmail.com
