Grants Available

Norfolk Cultural Council

The Norfolk Cultural Council is accepting applications until Oct. 15 for support of community cultural projects and PASS funding, a ticket subsidy program for school-age children, as a result of a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

The Massachusetts Cultural Council is a state agency that supports public programs in the arts, sciences and humanities.

Individuals and organizations may apply for general support - projects such as workshops, lectures, exhibits, festivals, science education and artist projects - or for PASS funding to enable schools and youth groups to take students, pre-K-12, cultural performances outside of school. The Norfolk Cultural Councli awards grants after considering the benefit to the community, the qualifications of the individuals and organizations involved, the planning process, community interest and involvement and the population segments served. Activities must take place in physically accessible facilities.

Applications and detailed guidelines are available at the Office of the Selectmen, Town Hall. They are also available online at http://www.massculturalcouncil.org/grants/for_lcc/applicants/techass_tools.html. Look for the LLC Application Form or PASS Application Form, depending on your project.

Completed forms must be delivered or submitted with a valid postmark by Oct. 15 to the Town Hall. For help in writing your proposal, please come to a grant-writing workshop:

When: Monday, Sept. 10 at 7:30 pm

Where: Medfield Public Library, Main St.

Karin Trachtenberg of the Massachusetts Cultural Council will be there to present the process and answer questions.
