The Paxton Cultural Council takes into consideration what the members of the community describe as their priorities in distributed survey forms. The Council will give priority to:

1) applicants who have secured a local venue with inclusion of a letter of support from the venue,

2) projects that serve youth and elderly,

3) programs that serve a significant number of residents,

4) projects that expand resident knowledge of local history.

Additional important criteria include: financial need, track record and ability of the applicant, the level of community involvement and support, and demonstration of adequate planning.

Paper applications will still be accepted by our council along with online applications. Please contact us via the info on the "Council Information" tab to request a copy of the paper application.

Also links for applicant websites will be used to help decide funding. Programs may be repeated if the Council feels they are of significant value to the community.

An online application will be available September 1.
