Hardwick-New Braintree Cultural Council Funding Priorities:

The Hardwick-New Braintree Cultural Council gathers input from the community every three years and develops funding priorities based on this feedback. The Hardwick-New Braintree Cultural Council gives priority to applicants that have secured a local venue and have a strong community benefit. We try to fund a variety of programs that reach a wide age and interest range.

Hardwick-New Braintree Cultural Council Local Guidelines:

PROGRAM PURPOSE AND REVIEW CRITERIA:

The purpose of the Hardwick-New Braintree Cultural Council is to promote and maintain the vitality of local cultural resources and to ensure these resources are shared within the towns of Hardwick and New Braintree. The Council is committed to funding a diverse cross-section of activities. We support a broad variety of art forms, environmental education projects, collaborative proposals that bring together artists and other types of organizations, local cultural groups, and projects that serve specific populations -- youth, elders, low-income, disabled.

Applications are evaluated in terms of several review criteria:

artistic or creative merit
project design
qualifications
dedication and track record of the individuals and organizations involved
physical accessibility of any facilities being used; and community benefit/involvement.

Proposals from schools and libraries must not request support for activities that should be or used to be part of the municipal budget (i.e., teacher salaries, classroom supplies, school-sponsored clubs and organizations, library books/videos, etc.). Enrichment projects utilizing outside professionals are allowed. Hardwick and New Braintree-based applicants are given preference over those from out of town. The council will carefully scrutinize repeated requests; such proposals should show other sources of support to show the project is not dependent solely on council funding.

ELIGIBILITY:

Applicants can be: arts, humanities or interpretive science organizations; individuals including artists, science educators, historians or other humanists, parents, community members, etc.; community organizations including, but not limited to, schools, social service organizations, civic groups, neighborhood centers, youth, senior and family associations, etc. Incorporated organizations must be nonprofit; unincorporated associations must have a nonprofit purpose.

FUNDING:

Payments are made on a reimbursement basis only. Reimbursements generally take 4 to 6 weeks. Applicants are sent a reimbursement form to use for their payment request. In addition, applicants must submit a completed program evaluation form with their reimbursement request. Projects and payment request
