CCNB regrants funds from the Mass Cultural Council to individuals and organizations for projects in the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences.
Eleven municipalities are represented. These municipalities are: Adams, Cheshire, Clarksburg, Florida, Hancock, Lanesborough, New Ashford, North Adams, Monroe, Savoy & Williamstown.
Address
10 Main Street
City of North Adams - Auditors Office
North Adams, MA 01247
Our council represents 11 mostly rural towns. We prioritize funding events and projects taking place within these municipalities, and/or if the applicant resides in one of our 11 municipalities.
Encourage activity that involves collaboration and grows community.
We aim to strike a balance between supporting new and previously funded projects, as well as individual and organizational funding needs.
Venues: If the proposal involves a venue, the Council strongly encourages applicants to include a general letter of support from a venue representative (this letter does not need a specific date or official letterhead). In addition, venues should be within one or more of our municipalities, as well as be handicap accessible.
Multiple Applications: If you – are an individual – are offering the same activity in multiple locations, please complete a single application (for example, make one grant request for a music performance being presented in 3 different libraries, and itemize the details in the narrative and budget).
Digital Content: If your project has digital content, please share the public benefit it brings to our 11 municipalities, as well as the applicant’s connection to any of these communities.
Feasibility: Please be as detailed as possible about the practical details of the project, from partnerships to technical set-ups. This information is essential in the Council’s deliberations.
