Your real odds
No acceptance rate is published, but the award range of $2,500 to $5,000 suggests the program distributes many grants per cycle rather than a handful of large ones.
Mass Cultural Council is Massachusetts' largest cultural funder and receives applications from organizations across the entire state, so competition is statewide and volume is high.
