Mattapoisett Cultural Council funding survey

Aug 2, 2021

MATTAPOISETT — The Mattapoisett Cultural Council is in search of community input about the funding priorities it uses to evaluate grant applications.

In recent years, Mattapoisett Cultural Council has given priority to local and regional public events like plays, concerts, festivals; arts in the schools; community arts and cultural organizations; field trips for students to museums, performances, or environment education activities; projects that have broad audience appeal; projects that specifically target teens or seniors or families; and applicants that have secured a local collaborator or venue

Applications are also evaluated with respect to how well the program meets the council’s local priorities, community support and involvement, evidence of track record and dedication of the applicant, bility to address diverse cultural needs, financial need and demonstrated planning.

These priorities are purposely broad so as to include a wide variety of potential grantee artists and organizations. If you believe something is missing or due for a change from current priorities, send your thoughts to kcdamaskos@gmail.com by August 15.
