Community Input Survey 2025

The Winchester Cultural Council (WCC) gives grants to support all kinds of cultural activity in town. We have two programs: giving fairly large grants in the fall (deadline Oct. 16) and microgrants all year. We are now collecting community input to inform our funding discussions and priorities over the next few years.

Please take a moment to complete this confidential survey. Please submit it if possible by October 15, 2026.
