FY24 Local Priorities

Programs that support diversity and inclusion for all residents in the Town of Danvers.

Artists’ projects that would benefit studio art and music programs in the schools in Danvers.

Preference for programs with an emphasis on community healing, building connections, and encouraging inclusion.

Priority will be given to applications that would have the greatest impact on the members of the Danvers community. All projects are required to be held in Danvers, preferably in person.
