The Franklin Cultural Council
is calling for funding proposals
from organizations, schools, and

a variety of art, science, and
humanities projects in Franklin—including
exhibits, festivals,
field trips, short-term artist residencies
or workshops, lectures,
and performances in schools,
the library, the senior center, or
for the community at large. Online
applications will be available
from Sept. 1 through Oct. 15,
2018 for 2019 grants. Only online

this year, and can be accessed at
www.mass-culture.org. Proposals
that are past the deadline will not
be considered.
To help applicants in preparing
an effective funding proposal,
the Council will hold a grant
writing workshop on Sept. 6 at
7 p.m. in the 3rd Floor Training
Room (Rm 205) of the Franklin
Municipal Building at 355 E.
Central Street, Franklin.
The session is open to nonprofit
cultural organizations,
artists, schools, and residents
interested in applying for funding
from the Franklin Cultural
Council. The workshop will walk
attendees through the online application
and answer any questions
about the grant process.
In addition, FCC members will
be on hand to discuss specifics
of individual project proposals
to give advice and suggestions.
To RSVP or for any questions,
please e-mail Stacey David, FCC
Chair, at franklinculturalcouncil02038@gmail.com
“We really encourage applicants
to attend the workshop as
well as carefully read the grant
application guidelines and grant
priorities, which can all be found
on our website,” says FCC Chair
Stacey David. “We are very
pleased that the Town of Franklin
increased our budget this year,
and hope to fund more projects
than we were able to in the past.
We have also established new
Council Priorities, which gives
priority consideration to projects
that meet certain criteria, including
programs that engage girls in
science, those that involve events
held within the newly demarcated
Franklin Cultural District,
new programs or applicants, and,
as always, those that are held in
or benefit residents of Franklin.”
While grant allocations have
yet to be announced from the
FCC’s state funding source, the
Massachusetts Cultural Council,
the FCC anticipates disbursing
approximately $12,000 in grants
for 2019. In addition, a separate
grant cycle will be conducted for
ArtWeek-specific grants, which
will open for applications on Dec.
15, and close on Jan. 31. Previously
funded projects include:
programs/field trips for many
of Franklin’s schools (public and
charter), Concerts on the Common,
Franklin Downtown Partnership
Harvest Stroll, LiveArts
concerts, FPAC’s Whatever Theater
Festival, Southeastern MA
Community Concert Band, and
the Franklin Art Association, to
name a few.
