The mission of the Natick Cultural Council is to promote excellence, education, and diversity in the arts, humanities and interpretative sciences to improve the quality of life for Natick residents. The Council awards grants based on the cultural needs of the community, as assessed by Council members with input from the community.

The fiscal year 2024 grants allotment for Natick is $14,300. Last year’s funded programs included What’s in Your Heart, Natick?; a new mural at Lilja School; SPARK Kindness Week; and more. See the entire list here.
The grants program operates under the umbrella of the Mass Cultural Council, which funds and manages a network of 329 Local Cultural Councils (LCCs) across the state, representing every city and town in the Commonwealth. Each council awards money based on individual community cultural needs, assessed and set by LCC members. Applicants apply directly to local councils.
