Program Overview

Providing unrestricted general operating support is a core priority for the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC). The MCC provides this support through the Cultural Investment Portfolio (CIP), a new program built on new intentions and a new relationship. CIP is not a traditional grant program aimed at individual organizations. It is the state's investment in the cultural sector.

CIP is flexible and respects the years of proven excellence and service provided by cultural organizations to their community. It puts a premium on building an honest, authentic relationship, between organizations and the MCC.

Becoming Part of the Cultural Investment Portfolio
CIP supports organizations of all sizes and disciplines statewide. There are three levels of participation to the Portfolio - Peers, Colleagues, and Partners. Organizations can choose to participate at any level for which they are eligible.

Peers
Peer grants are designed primarily for organizations new to the MCC operating support funding pool, not fully-cultural organizations, and other groups offering cultural programming who do not meet the requirements for Partners or Colleagues (or choose to opt out). Learn More

Colleagues
Colleague grants are available to organizations with a track record of offering public cultural programming in Massachusetts for at least five years, and have received operational support from the MCC for at least four fiscal years since FY2003. Learn More

Partners
Partner grants are available to given to organizations with a track record of offering public cultural programming in Massachusetts for at least 10 years, and have received operational support from the MCC for at least eight fiscal years since FY1997. Learn More
