1. Please include 9 copies of application in addition to the original. Applications not submitted in sufficient quantity will be rejected.
2. Grants are awarded on a REIMBURSEMENT BASIS. Payment can only be made to the approved applicant AFTER the event or project is completed.
PLEASE REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING:
(A) The event must have a specific date, time and location.
(B) Applicants proposing to perform in the Shrewsbury schools or other Town agencies (i.e. Senior Center, Library, etc.) must provide a letter of agreement from the venue.

(D) Projects must result in a direct benefit to the Town of Shrewsbury and/or its residents.
(E) Projects must take place during our funding cycle.
