FY24 Allocation

$17,400

FY24 Local Priorities

For FY24, the Franklin Cultural Council will give priority to projects and programs that meet one or more of the following criteria:
– are held within the Town of Franklin or are of the greatest benefit to Franklin residents.
– are for events within the boundaries of the Franklin Cultural District, the vibrant, walkable area that surrounds Downtown Franklin. For a map of the FCD, visit franklinculture.org.
– are service oriented and best meet the needs of our community.
– elevate the voices and experiences of historically-marginalized groups to create a more inclusive culture sector in Franklin.
– explicitly link the arts to emotional well being in times of crisis, and contribute to personal and community resiliency.

FY24 Local Guidelines

The applicant’s project should elevate the rich cultural life of our community by expanding access, improving education, promoting diversity, and encouraging excellence in the arts, humanities, civics, history or social sciences.

The applicant’s project must provide adequate public access. Explanation of handicap accessibility of the venue, if applicable, must be included in the application.

Applicants must have a clear, written commitment of the event from the sponsoring organization or venue.

Franklin Cultural Council funds are not intended to be used as the sole source of funding for projects.

Ticket prices for events will be taken into consideration during the grant approval process and must be included in your application.

Applicants must take into consideration local and state public health guidelines in place at the time of their event. The Franklin Cultural Council acknowledges that public health crises disproportionately impact Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) and encourages applications that take this into consideration.
