MCC HEARING SCHEDULE
Fall 2020
*EXAMPLE: If your organizations event is on October 20th you would need to apply by September 13th to make the 30 day deadline for the grant application. However, to be heard at least two weeks prior to your event, you would need to be heard on September 23rd, and to be heard on a certain day, you must apply at least 10 days prior to that date so you would need to apply by September 13th to make both deadlines.
