The Heath Cultural Council provides funding to support artistic and culturally enriching community programs and activities in the Town of Heath and the surrounding area.
The Heath Cultural Council is made up of at least five members who meet at least once annually to review applications for a variety of cultural projects and activities to take place in and around the Town of Heath, including exhibits, festivals, field trips, short-term artist residencies, performances, presentations for schools, workshops and lectures. Our mission is to approve, support, and lead a balanced variety of projects that benefit citizens of Heath. The Heath Cultural Council welcomes and solicits input from the community in order to better develop funding priorities. Please send any input to: HeathCulturalCouncil@gmail.com. Be sure to include your name and street address in any correspondence.
FY26 Local Priorities:
When considering grant applications, priority will be given to projects that serve our local
community. In addition to the State requirements, applications will be evaluated using the
following criteria:
- Evidence of local community support and involvement.
- Evidence of a favorable track record and dedication of the applicant.
- Ability to augment our goal of offering diverse forms of cultural activities to Heath residents of
all ages. New applicants offering unique projects are encouraged.
- Financial need.
- Demonstrated planning.
FY26 Local Guidelines:
The Heath Cultural Council limits the number of applications to ONE per applicant per grant cycle.
Our Council will consider capital expenditure requests.
Grantees must publicly acknowledge the Heath Cultural Council as well as the Mass Cultural
Council when executing their approved projects in order to meet reimbursement criteria. You can apply at the Massacusetts Cultural Council "Heath" page when applications open up here:
