For more than three decades, it has funded innovative programming that connects creative learning with social, emotional, and academic development, community collaboration, and systems change. Its focus is sustained, hands-on learning that gives young people opportunities to build their creative capacities over time. Youth voice, racial equity and social justice, and collective action are central to the program. It emphasizes treating young people as partners with existing strengths, providing safe and healthy spaces, fostering positive relationships, and offering rigorous learning. Youth take meaningful roles in program design and decision-making. Funding priorities include BIPOC-centered organizations led by and serving people of the global majority, as well as attention to accessibility. The program also recognizes investments in mental health and wellness and workforce development, including mental health supports, youth stipends, and paid employment.75:T2840,

--- ## Description YouthReach is Mass Cultural Council’s grant program for Creative Youth Development (CYD). For more than three decades, it has supported innovative arts, humanities, and science programs that nurture young people’s creativity and leadership potential. The program connects these capacities with social, emotional, and academic development, while supporting community collaboration and systems change. YouthReach centers youth voice, racial equity and social justice, and collective action. It supports sustained, hands-on creative learning rather than drop-in activities or individual private lessons. Effective CYD programs treat young people as partners with existing strengths, provide safe and healthy spaces, foster positive relationships, offer rigorous learning, and give youth meaningful roles in program design and decision-making. --- ## Due Dates - April 2027: Application deadline (anticipated). *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount The published FY27 guidelines anticipate two annual award ranges. Amounts are redetermined annually based on legislative appropriations and applicant numbers. - $20,000–$22,000 for programs best aligning with review criteria and funding priorities. - $25,000–$27,000 for aligned programs demonstrating mental health/wellness and/or workforce development investments. - Two- or four-year commitments may be requested (roughly half of recipients receive four-year commitments). Awards depend on sufficient Commonwealth and National Endowment for the Arts funding and may increase or decrease annually. Grantees receive a new contract each year. For the higher award, applicants must demonstrate: - At least $2,500 in actual cash spending on either focus area in FY26. - At least $2,500 planned for those areas in the FY27 budget. - Mental health supports or significant staff mental health training, and/or youth stipends or paid employment. - Mental health systems, trained staff, and documentation and communication with behavioral health partners, where applicable. - Competitive youth wages, life-skills development, growth, feedback, and future opportunities, where applicable. Funds are restricted to the funded CYD program, not general organizational operations. Program-associated direct costs, indirect costs, overhead, transportation, materials, and food may be budgeted. --- ## Eligibility Eligible applicants must: - Be an eligible organization type: - Nonprofit with active IRS status and qualifying Massachusetts registration. - Unincorporated organization using an eligible fiscal agent. - Massachusetts public, charter, or private Pre-K–12 school with a 2025–2026 DESE School ID. - Federally recognized tribal, state, or municipal government entity in Massachusetts. - Have a Massachusetts physical address and conduct the majority of programming in Massachusetts. - Have operated a CYD program for at least six months between 2024 and 2026. - Primarily offer arts, humanities, or interpretive science programming for Massachusetts youth ages 4–24. - Provide a consistent group with in-person, hands-on cumulative creative learning and multi-year participation options. - Have a program budget of at least $20,000 in cash expenses. Nonprofits must be registered and in good standing with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth and listed in its Business Entity database, or registered with the Attorney General’s Non-Profit Organizations/Public Charities Division. Unincorporated organizations must conduct at least 50% of programming in Massachusetts. Eligible fiscal agents must agree to serve as legal and contractual representatives. Nonprofit agents need active IRS 501(c)(3) status and recognition to do business in Massachusetts; Massachusetts municipalities may also serve. Additional requirements: - Submit only one application per organization (one grant per program and one funded department per parent organization). - FY27 Cultural District Investment Grant recipients cannot apply. - Drop-in programming and individual private lessons are ineligible. - Programs must embody racial equity and social justice, youth voice, and collective action. Organizations managing state-designated Cultural Districts may qualify if their operations are independent of the district. Local and Tribal Cultural Council grants do not affect eligibility. Organizations may apply to Operating Grants for Organizations, Cultural Investment Portfolio, Gaming Mitigation Fund, and Creative Experiences, but receive funding from only one of these programs or YouthReach each grant year. Generally, the largest recommended grant is awarded, unless the organization chooses the lower amount; FY27 YouthReach takes precedence over Creative Experiences. All former YouthReach grantees must reapply. Organizations and programs that discriminate on the protected grounds listed in the guidelines will not be funded. --- ## Application Process - **Submission:** Apply through the [grants management system](https://massculturalcouncil.smartsimple.com/s_Login.jsp) using an organization account. - **Preparation:** Read the [guidelines](https://www.massculturalcouncil.org/youth/youthreach/application-process/) and [sample application](https://massculturalcouncil.org/documents/Sample_Application_YouthReach.pdf). - **Higher award materials:** Provide additional narratives, budget information, and evidence of qualifying investments and staff capacity. - **Priority materials:** Submit BIPOC self-identification in the portal and upload accessibility assessment confirmation before submission. - **Evaluation:** Staff confirm eligibility, then a youth-sector review team scores applications using equally weighted required criteria. - **Award documents:** Complete CASL, EFT/W-9 with valid EIN, and the state contract and attachments through DocuSign. The optional higher-award section affects award-tier eligibility, not the application’s overall likelihood of funding. Evaluative site visits and the logic model requirement have been removed. --- ## Additional Information ### Funding priorities and review Priority is given to: - First-time applicants or those without Mass Cultural Council funding in FY24–FY26. - BIPOC-centered organizations led by and serving people of the global majority. - Schools with at least 50% BIPOC enrollment in the specified DESE data. - Applicants completing the [Arts & Culture Accessibility Self-Assessment](https://artsaccesshub.org/assess-plan/) and uploading confirmation. Local and Tribal Cultural Council awards do not count as prior agency funding. There are no separate priority points for serving youth with neurodiversity, learning needs, or disabilities. Higher-tier review considers competitive youth pay and/or tracking and addressing mental health needs, youth input, thoughtful cross-sector partnerships, culturally competent staff credentials/bios, and program design. Required review scores form the majority of the score. Funding is not guaranteed. Ties are first addressed through equitable distribution across geography, discipline, project budget, and applicant type; remaining ties use lottery-style randomization. The FY27 funding list totals $1,950,000, with listed awards of $20,000 and $26,000. ### Award obligations and support Annual reports must document progress, changes, financial information, and continued partner commitment, with applicant officials’ signatures. Federal subrecipients also submit a federal fund report. Incomplete reports prevent release of subsequent funding. Misrepresentation, missed deadlines, unreported significant changes, inadequate youth recruitment/retention, or failure to deliver the approved program may reduce, suspend, or end funding. Payments go only to the applicant or listed fiscal agent; funds cannot be redirected to third parties. Generally, 80% is distributed in December and 20% after the final report. Fiscal agents complete contracts and receive payment on applicants’ behalf. Grantees must comply with ADA, Section 504, and Title VI requirements. Request accessibility, translation, or interpretation support at least three weeks before an event or deadline. Free program-design and evaluation consultations with Julia Gittleman are available to all Massachusetts programs. Reconsideration requires evidence that published procedures were not followed and a written request to the Executive Director within 30 days of notification. Dissatisfaction with denial or award size is not sufficient. --- ## External Links - [YouthReach program page](https://www.massculturalcouncil.org/youth/youthreach) - [Application process and FY27 guidelines](https://www.massculturalcouncil.org/youth/youthreach/application-process/) - [Grants management system](https://massculturalcouncil.smartsimple.com/s_Login.jsp) - [YouthReach FAQs](https://massculturalcouncil.org/youth/youthreach/faqs/) - [Sample application](https://massculturalcouncil.org/documents/Sample_Application_YouthReach.pdf) --- ## Contact Information | Contact | Email | Phone | Webpage | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | YouthReach program staff | youthreach@mass.gov | | | | Grants team — technical assistance | grants.team@mass.gov | | | | Charles G.
