They help define our collective character and distinguish MetroWest as a desirable place to live. These grants will help these groups continue to enrich our region for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nine organizations receiving grants will use the funding to add staff members, grow programming capabilities, recoup operating costs impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, fund new art installations and expand existing exhibits. Several organizations also plan to use the financial support to begin or expand diversity-centric initiatives, including exhibitions aimed at celebrating diversity, incorporating the stories of enslaved individuals, and a speaker series that will tackle race and identity issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following this latest round of grantmaking, the Foundation has now distributed a total of $4.75 million to MetroWest organizations in 2020. All funds awarded through its grantmaking programs help to create strong, vibrant communities, now and in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;61072&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery year, we see new ideas, projects and programs proposed by arts and culture nonprofits that we know will improve and inspire our communities,\u201d said Susan Kavoogian, Foundation Trustee and Chair of the Distribution Committee. \u201cWhile we\u2019re excited by how these organizations plan to use their grants, we also know there is still a great need for additional support. Despite this tumultuous year, we hope this funding helps remind our communities just how important arts and cultural institutions are to MetroWest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Foundation\u2019s Distribution Committee reviewed and carefully considered 45 applications totaling more than $780,000 in need from arts and culture organizations serving MetroWest over the past several months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/grow.business.source.flowers.2020.ad_-1024x349.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/grow.business.source.flowers.2020.ad_-1024x349.png 1024w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/grow.business.source.flowers.2020.ad_-300x102.png 300w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/grow.business.source.flowers.2020.ad_-768x262.png 768w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/grow.business.source.flowers.2020.ad_.png 1167w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2020 Arts and Culture Grant Program Recipients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Framingham History Center&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $15,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>deCordova Sculpture Park &amp; Museum&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $25,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazing Things Arts Center (atac)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $20,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discovery Museum&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $10,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gore Place Society&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $10,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Center for Arts in Natick&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $15,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lexington Historical Society&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $10,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Umbrella Community Arts Center&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $20,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopkinton Center for the Arts&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $25,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;70106&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Established in 1995, the Foundation for MetroWest is the only community foundation serving the cities and towns in the region, encompassing 700,000 residents from Westborough to Waltham and Acton to Walpole.
