Cultural Grants Available

Effective October 1-November 16, 2020, the Worthington Cultural Council is accepting applications from organizations, schools and individuals for grants that support cultural activities in the community in 2021.

We place a special emphasis on projects that serve school-age children and the elderly, and are seeking to expand the types of projects funded to include more diverse art forms as well as projects that address the range of human diversity and the interests of the entire local community. Projects must have an identified local venue (or be accessible on line) and have a projected completion date in order to be considered. All proposed projects must meet Massachusetts state guidelines for public gatherings. Proposals must mention how their project would meet these guidelines.

The Mass Cultural Council and a network of Local Cultural Councils provide public funding for the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences in every city and town in the state. Funded programs are intended to promote excellence, education, diversity, and inclusion in the arts, humanities, and sciences to foster a rich cultural life in communities across the Commonwealth.

Applicants must submit requests by Monday, November 16, 2020. Applications can be submitted:

  • On-line at http://www.mass-culture.org/lcc_public.aspx,
  • By mail at:

  • Or they may be left in the Drop Box outside the door at the Worthington Town Hall.
