Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for an MCCC grant, applicants must:

- Serve and provide general benefit to the public. Eligible applicants include neighborhood associations, artist collectives/ensembles, groups with a declared common purpose consistent with the goals of this grant program, and organizations with IRS 501(c)3 status. Unless you are applying for general operating support, an IRS 501(c)3 status is not required.
