About travel & tourism grants

Travel and tourism grants support organizations and projects that promote tourism, cultural and heritage attractions, destination marketing, and the visitor economy. Funding frequently comes through state and local tourism offices, destination marketing organizations, and economic-development programs, and is often aimed at boosting local economies and showcasing communities. Eligible recipients can include nonprofits, tourism bureaus, cultural sites, events, and small businesses depending on the program.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are travel and tourism grants?

Travel and tourism grants fund efforts to attract visitors and strengthen the visitor economy — destination marketing, cultural and heritage tourism, festivals and events, attraction development, and related promotion. Because tourism drives local economic activity, much of this funding is framed around economic development and community promotion rather than general charitable programs.

Who offers travel and tourism grants?

Funding most often comes from state tourism offices and destination marketing organizations, local convention and visitors bureaus, and economic-development agencies, sometimes financed through lodging or hotel-occupancy taxes. Foundations, arts and humanities councils, and corporate sponsors may also support cultural, heritage, and event-related tourism. Programs and eligibility vary significantly by state and locality.

Who is eligible for tourism grants?

Eligibility depends on the program: some are open to nonprofits, tourism bureaus, cultural institutions, and event organizers, while others include municipalities or small businesses in the hospitality sector. Many tourism grants require a clear plan to draw visitors, measurable economic impact, and sometimes matching funds, so it's important to review each program's specific guidelines and geographic focus.
