Newton Community Pride (NCP) is accepting applications until September 1 for its Fall 2023 Micro Grants. Successful applications must align with the mission of NCP to support arts and culture, public art, service, and beautification in the Newton community. A total of $10,000 is available to be awarded in this round, in grants averaging $500-$1,000 each.
Since its inception, the NCP Community Micro Grant program has awarded over $30,000 to artists, arts organizations, and neighborhood groups. The most recent grant recipients include Newton Piano Summit, Newton Theater Company’s LGBTQ+ Voices Monologue Project, Klezmer Dance Party in Newton Highlands, India Day Newton Celebration, Music Mondays at the Scandinavian Center, and Indigenous Peoples Day Newton. In addition, NCP awarded Newton Community Farm with a beautification grant.
NCP Executive Director Blair Lesser Sullivan noted that NCP “believes strongly in providing seed money to support local events and projects that enhance and build community. A little bit of financial support goes a long way and we look forward each cycle to investing in more Newton arts and culture programming, public art, service and beautification projects.”
