Can I submit a letter of interest for another organization?
If you know of a Community Impact or Grassroots organization whose work aligns with the goals of this grant, there is space within the letter of interest form to submit a nomination for another organization. It’s quick and simple — you’ll just need to share a few details about the organization and why you believe they should be considered.
What happens after I submit a letter of interest?
After the letter of interest closes, our team will review the submissions to confirm which organizations meet the application criteria. Those eligible will be contacted directly with details on how to apply.
Who can submit a letter of interest?
You can submit a letter of interest for any eligible nonprofit organization whose work uses the arts to build belonging and community in Cambridge. This includes organizations working in visual arts, music, dance, theater, and other creative disciplines that help connect people and foster a sense of inclusion.
When will the application open?
We’re still finalizing details for the application launch – scheduled for June 2025. In the meantime, our focus is on gathering interest and confirming eligibility. Stay tuned — we’ll share updates once the application timeline is confirmed.
When can I apply for this grant?
Right now, we’re not accepting applications directly. Instead, we are inviting community members to submit letters of interest if they believe their organization is doing impactful arts work around belonging in Cambridge. Once letters of interest are in, our team will reach out to eligible organizations with more information on how to apply.
Is my organization eligible to apply?
All organizations must submit a letter of interest to determine their eligibility. It is also helpful to read the criteria above to determine which type of application – community impact or grassroots – you should express interest in.

What’s the difference between this award and the Microgrants program?
The Imagined in Cambridge! Award supports projects that have already been tested or piloted and are ready to be celebrated or may be ready to grow. The Microgrants Program is better for early-stage ideas or projects still in the brainstorming phase.
