Grants for Nonprofits in Massachusetts
Massachusetts posts state grant opportunities in COMMBUYS, the Commonwealth's official procurement system, next to contracts. Anyone can search it for free, and organizations with a COMMBUYS vendor profile can sign up for notices of new grant postings. GrantCue reads the grant postings in COMMBUYS and the City of Boston's funding programs.
Arts and culture money also has a local layer. Cities and towns across the state have Local Cultural Councils, led by municipally appointed volunteers, that make grants for local programs such as festivals, lectures and field trips, and applications go to the local council. Mass Cultural Council keeps its statewide deadlines on its Agency Dates list.
