GRANTS

Past 2020 Grants:

Applications will be considered from artists or from private or public nonprofit educational or cultural institutions. The Grants Committee submits its recommendations to the Board for approval. 


We are honored to have given over $250,000 in grants since 1994 to Nantucket nonprofit cultural organizations that present on-island community programs throughout the year, especially those benefiting the young. This collaborative program is made possible in part by the generosity of the Dr. and Mrs. Walter Willard Boyd and family.


Our list of Grant Recipients includes: Mollie Glazer, The Lighthouse School, Artists Association of Nantucket, The Nantucket Dreamland Foundation, The Nantucket Atheneum, The Nantucket Book Festival, Nantucket Community Music Center, A Safe Place, and Theatre Workshop of Nantucket.
