Dear Grant Applicants
In the FY2023 grant application cycle, the Newton Cultural Council will be using the form below to help refine our process of fund allocation.
This form is meant to help both you, the applicants, and us, the evaluators. We highly recommend you attempt to rate your own program before submitting your application.
You will get a copy of this form as feedback when you receive the decision on your grant application.
This form is intended to help us to more precisely and objectively discern between various projects and allocate funds based on the priorities set out by the Newton Cultural Council.
