Ashland Cultural Council finalizes grant approvals; Applefield program slated to serve older students
Summary
The council reviewed grants given and denied, set a Jan. 15, 2026 appeal deadline for denied applicants, assigned each member five grantees for follow-up, and said payments will follow submission of documentation; the Applefield program was noted as serving an older school population.
The Ashland Cultural Council reviewed a list of grants given and denied and established a grace period for denied applicants to appeal through Jan. 15, 2026. Chair Stacey Grant-Lewis said each council member will be responsible for following up with five grantees and that she will send form approval notices with award amounts.
Council members emphasized that payments will be distributed only after approved programs submit required documentation; the group said that once approvals and program documentation are in place, payment will occur. The minutes list the Applefield program as one of the approved programs and note it will work with an older school population.
Specific award amounts for individual grantees were not listed in the minutes; the council reported only that approvals were completed "based on $9554" available in the account and that Chair Grant-Lewis will circulate detailed award amounts to grantees.
