Our Grant Cycle is open
The Maynard Cultural Council Grant period is open! We are seeking funding proposals for community-oriented arts, humanities, and science programs due October 17. Organizations, schools, and individuals can apply for grants that support cultural activities in the community.
These grants can support a variety of artistic projects and activities in Maynard -- including exhibits, festivals, field trips, short-term artist residencies, or performances in schools, workshops, and lectures. Grants typically range from $50 to $1500 - however one change this year will be the funding of a small amount of higher impact projects with bigger disbursements.
“We are grateful to the Massachusetts Cultural Council for making it possible to contribute to the cultural character of the Town of Maynard with these grants,” said Maynard Cultural Council Chair Jenna Dargie, “Maynard is a town abundant in creative thinkers and doers, and we are delighted to be able to offer some support to the creative process.”

What makes a good application? Each year we receive more requests than the funds that are available. The success of your grant may rely on careful planning and thorough preparation. Clearly identify dates, times, and locations. Include all costs in your budget, including in-kind donations (free use of space or donated services). If permits or extra permission are needed, please identify them. If this is a collaborative project, please identify the stakeholders and spell out agreements.
