Based on the latest community survey as well as the town's Vision 21 recommendations, the Belmont Cultural Council will prioritize grants that are "whole community events" meaning the event will serve multiple populations within the town. Additionally, public art exhibits, outdoor music and art events as well as other humanity and science projects are encouraged to apply. Preference is given to Belmont based non-profit organizations. Applicants based outside of Belmont are expected to secure the sponsorship of a Belmont organization or individual. Applicants based outside of Belmont must include a sponsorship letter endorsing the project and attach it to the online application as a PDF file. Online applications for grants are required. Assistance can be obtained by contacting the BCC. Field trips and funds for capital expenses and consumables, like food or drink, will not be awarded grants The council places a priority on programs that occur after Jan of the grant cycle, ie Jan 2018 for this cycle, enabling the council to help promote and attend the program.
