Card to Culture Program
The Hitchcock Center is pleased to be participating in the Card to Culture Program, a CultureRx Initiative, by extending the following benefits to EBT, WIC, and cardholders:
Children, Youth, and Family Programs and Community Programs
Given this time of financial hardship for our community and our organization, we are offering a new sliding scale fee structure aimed to provide greater flexibility in choosing a price that is right for you and your family, no questions asked.
- Tier A: The fee is set 15% higher than what it costs to run the program and helps to support those who cannot afford the full cost of the program.
- Tier B: The fee is set to cover 100% of the program costs.
- Tier C: The fee is set at 15% less than what it costs to run the program.
- Tier D: This fee is set at 35% less than what it costs to run the program. This option is available for EBT, WIC, and Connector Care participants, that is, households receiving benefits through the Massachusetts Department of Transitional Assistance and the Massachusetts Health Connector.
Financial Aid
The Hitchcock Center offers financial aid for our Nature Summer Camp program. Financial aid awards vary and are subject to availability. To apply, please send an email to Jeff Mazur, Camp Director.
