Approximately one-third of Leverett Cultural Council funding goes to school-based and field-trip grants. However, field trip grants for transportation may be limited because of limited funding. One-third of funding goes to events at the Leverett Public Library. The final third of our grants is awarded to individuals and groups that provide cultural events, events that celebrate cultural diversity, and classes that benefit the citizens of Leverett. Classes with multiple meetings are especially desirable, as are those that are inter-generational, and for seniors. Typical dollar amounts for individuals are from $100-$300, but are not limited to these amounts. Funding may be partial. Events that will use a particular venue must provide a letter or note from that organization that the venue will be available. Given the restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Council encourages virtual classes or programs where possible.
Grantees are reimbursed at the end of the projects when their final paperwork is submitted. Applicants must apply online at Massachusetts Cultural Council. Where possible, applicants are asked to provide proof that their proposed venue is available and approved by the venue authority.
