Scientific and Cultural Facilities

The Cultural Council in Arapahoe County consists of 13 members who review the applications received from eligible area groups. The Council then recommends the level of Scientific and Cultural Facilities District funding for various projects that represent a good mix of cultural and scientific offerings to the Arapahoe County community. The Board of County Commissioners reviews the recommendations and officially adopts a plan for the disbursement of grants for Arapahoe County's share of SCFD funding for submittal to the SCFD Board of Directors for approval and disbursement. 

The 13 members are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to serve two-year terms. To apply for a volunteer position on the Cultural Council, please click here.
