Two Ways to Get Funding
1. Apply to Your Local Cultural Council
  • You can apply yourself, or we can make application to the LCC for you.  There is no requirement of matching funds from the school.
  • Step 1  If you want us to apply for you, then skip to step 2.  Otherwise, print the application from the MCC website if you wish to complete it yourself. www.massculturalcouncil.org    Contact us if you need help completing the LCC application.
  • Step 2  Complete the request form on our website.  If the Parent-Teacher Organization for your school would like to contribute, then fill in the projected contribution amount and PTO contact information.  This is NOT a contract.  The request form serves as a pledge of interest necessary for application to the Local Cultural Council for funding assistance.
  • We will send supplemental teacher preparatory materials including suggested projects for classroom use.

2. Apply for a Massachusetts Cultural Council Event

  • Creative Ears for Tomorrow has been listed on the Massachusetts Cultural Council Event and Residency Roster in the category of Event.
  • Schools may apply to the MCC for a maximum of 30% of the total artists fees.  Schools may also apply to their Local Cultural Council for matching funding.
