Rehoboth Cultural Council Announces the 2018 Grant Cycle

 Do you have a program or project in need of funding? We would like to help. The Rehoboth Cultural Council, an arm of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, announces the opening of the 2018 grant cycle. Funding will be available for programs and projects that promote the arts, humanities, and social sciences in the local community. The Council strongly encourages local artists, musicians, historians, craft persons, etc., who have something to share with their community, to apply.

If you have never applied for this type of grant or just have a question, volunteers from the Rehoboth Cultural Council will be available at the Blanding Library to assist you with the application process. The information sessions will be held on two dates: Wednesday, September 13 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. and Wednesday, September 20 from 1:00-3:00 p.m. We look forward to speaking with you. If you are wondering if your project or program might qualify for funding, please visit www.mass-culture.org/Rehoboth. Additional contact Information and grant application forms may be found on the website.

Grant applications will be accepted from September 1 through October 16, 2017. Programs must be completed between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018.  Grants are awarded on a reimbursement basis. Applicants should include a letter of support from their host agency or venue with their application. Teachers are encouraged to apply for grants which will help to defray the cost of field trips to cultural events. Applications must be submitted electronically by October 16, 2017.

The Council is actively seeking new members with an interest in promoting the arts in the local community. Our next scheduled meeting will be held on Monday, November 20, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. at the Blanding Library. We look forward to hearing from you!
