The Lincoln Cultural Council is accepting applications for grants for the coming year. The deadline for applying is Oct. 15, 2014. For information on Lincoln grant guidelines and application forms, see the MCC’s page for Lincoln.
The Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) distributes funds to local and regional cultural councils including the LCC, who then re-grant funds to arts, humanities, and interpretive science projects in their own communities. This year, the Lincoln council will distribute a total of $4,300.
