Summary
A Town of Plympton document dated Nov. 18, 2025, lists 18 FY25 cultural grant applications; nine are marked approved and nine denied. The posting shows requested and awarded amounts per project but some table fields and a line for the Plymouth Philharmonic appear unclear or misformatted.
The Town of Plympton posted decisions on Nov. 18, 2025, for FY25 arts and cultural grant applications, listing 18 applicants and showing nine marked “A” (approved) and nine marked “D” (denied), according to a document stamped “TOWN PLYMPTON RECEIVED.” The listing was provided in the meeting transcript by a town clerk (transcript label S1).
The document shows each applicant, project title, project location and two numeric columns for amounts; one appears to be the amount requested and the other the amount awarded. The approved applicants and the amounts shown in the document are: Hannah Close — Guest Artist Workshop, requested 800, awarded 800 (A); Community Autism Resources, Inc. — Corn Maze for Autistic Individuals and Their Families, requested 4,525, awarded 510 (A); Rachel Maguire — Careers in the Arts, requested 2,000, awarded 600 (A); Mayflower Camerata and Chamber Orchestra — Classical Masters: Haydn and Mozart, requested 10,000, awarded 750 (A); Kim Moberg — The Seven Fires Prophecy Suite for Humanity Concert, requested 600, awarded 600 (A); Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra Inc. — 2025-2026 concert season/outreach, the row lists an anomalous figure (1517334.97) in the requested column and an award of 600 (A); Plympton Council on Aging — Luncheon Entertainment, requested 1,500, awarded 1,500 (A); Soule Homestead Education Center — Weeks Annual Festivals: Sheep Day & Harvest Fair, requested 9,600, awarded 1,000 (A); Matt York — Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash Songs & Stories, requested 450, awarded 450 (A).
Applicants marked denied in the posted list include Beantown Baroque Inc. (12500 requested; marked D), Melanie Fortman (1,500; D), Fuller Craft Museum (two separate applications listed and both marked D), Lewis Parks/Andrew Lewis-Parks (595; D), MUSIC Dance.edu (380 requested; D), John P. Porcino (460; D), South Shore Young Men's Christian Association (16,550 requested; D), and Jon Waterman (500; D). The document’s rows are presented as a table; where amounts or columns are not clearly labeled in the posted text, this article follows the numeric columns as they appear (first = amount requested, second = amount shown alongside the A/D flag, when present).
The posting includes a few numeric totals at the end of the table (for example, the numbers “1605944.97 18795 6437” appear immediately before the date stamp). The transcript does not explain those totals or how they were calculated; their meaning is not specified in the document and could reflect a transcription or formatting artifact.
The posted file does not identify who made the final funding decisions, nor does it include recorded vote tallies or meeting motion language in the excerpt provided. The document is dated and time-stamped Nov. 18, 2025, 9:22. For further details about award determinations or full vote records, the posted list suggests contacting Town administrative staff; the transcript identifies the source of the list only as a clerk’s posting.
