The Mass Cultural Council advances the Commonwealth’s creative and cultural sector by celebrating traditions and talents, championing its collective needs, and equitably investing public resources.
Operating Grants for Organizations are multi-year, unrestricted operating grants aimed at nonprofit organizations that contribute to Massachusetts’ cultural life. The goal is to support a cultural sector that is important for economic vitality—generating $1.2 billion in economic activity, creating jobs, and reaching over 20 million people annually. This program is set to replace the existing Cultural Investment Portfolio, indicating a strategic shift or development in funding priorities.
