Passport to Culture Fundraiser
Stamp your “Passport to Culture” with the Melrose Cultural Council as we embark on our first and only fundraising effort in 2024. The “Passport to Culture” ticket drawing will raise funds for MCC's grantmaking program. 100% of funds go to MCC’s local grantmaking activities to provide more grants as well as a higher level of funding.
Local and regional arts and culture organizations have graciously donated 26 prizes, each with a face value of $100 or more. That means 26 chances to win! The drawings will close the night of Melrose PorchFest, on Saturday, September 21. UPDATE: With the postponement of Melrose PorchFest, we have decided to extended sales to Monday, September 23.
To purchase a ticket to the drawing, please visit our fundraising website on Zeffy. A single ticket is $10 or you can buy three for $25. Please note, Zeffy is a free service and they default the payment section to an optional 17% support for Zeffy. You can bypass this by choosing "Other" in the dropdown and then enter "$0" so you will not need to make a contribution to Zeffy.
