Funding for arts, culture, humanities, and interpretive science projects
[Submission courtesy of the Sudbury Cultural Council]
The Sudbury Cultural Council’s vision is to foster a vibrant and inclusive cultural landscape and to promote community engagement and connection.
The Sudbury Cultural Council (SCC) annually welcomes grant applications that support local artists and cultural organizations to cultivate a thriving creative community. Projects and programs encompass a diverse range of endeavors such as performances, lectures, exhibits, heritage preservation projects, events, and educational programs, all designed to enrich the lives and environment of Sudbury residents. Collaboration with community stakeholders, including schools, businesses, and grassroots organizations, strengthens the cultural ecosystem and expands opportunities for collaboration and exchange.
The SCC prioritizes programs that either occur within Sudbury or involve a substantial proportion of the community, whether as project leaders or participants. Furthermore, to cultivate innovation and variety, new applicants and projects are prioritized.
Some helpful information:
- Applications (online only) are due by Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at 11:59 PM.
- Funding is available for programs that occur between January 1, 2025 and December 1, 2025.
- We do not guarantee that we will fully fund grant requests; we recommend finding other sources of income in the event you do not receive the full amount of your request. We rarely grant more than $1000 per applicant, our average grant is between $400-500, and the minimum awarded is $250. You can see our most recent awards and amounts at the link below.
- We are unable to consider proposals without a confirmed venue and date.
- Past grant recipients are invited to apply each year, but previous funding does not guarantee future funding.
We understand that developing a community endeavor can be a complicated process, and the Sudbury Cultural Council is happy to offer guidance or answer questions about our priorities and guidelines as you are writing your proposal.
