$4,600

All applications and supplemental materials must be submitted online. No paper applications will be accepted.

Programs in music, dance, visual arts, poetry, literature, drama, the humanities and scientific interpretation for all age groups will be considered. Capital expenditures will be considered. Applications for programs that are normally funded by the town budget will not be considered.

Priority is given to applicants who live or work in in Concord and who offer programs and presentations that specifically benefit a wide range of audiences in the Concord community.

We encourage applications for programs in the surrounding area if they would benefit Concord residents as well as other communities.

Priority is given to programs that have a proven track record or expectation of attracting or benefiting a large number of participants.

Applicants must demonstrate a record of engagement in the type of activity for which funds are requested.

Time/Venue Required: Applicants must specify an arranged venue for their activity and a specific date or ongoing timeline.

Level of Support: The Council does not fully fund any project. To demonstrate that your project is not dependent solely on Concord funding, you must specify other sources of financial support in the budget section of the application.

For examples of the range of programs that have received grants in previous years, please visit the Town of Concord website's Local Cultural Council page under Boards and Committees.
