The Massachusetts Cultural Council receives an annual appropriation from the state legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts. It then makes grants to not-for-profit cultural organizations, schools, communities, and working artists, for programs that use the arts, sciences, and humanities to build stronger, more diverse, more livable communities. Beneficiaries include a broad cross-section of the state's population: schoolchildren; at-risk youth; elders; people with disabilities and everyday citizens in each city and town across the state. While it is placed administratively under the Treasurer's office it remains autonomous in its operations.
