Summary
This grant's purpose is to help fund events, projects, or attractions that increase visitor traffic, promote tourism, and enhance tourism‑related assets.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations or groups, or entities that host or operate tourism events, sites, or attractions. Projects must align with the mission of marketing the region, drawing visitors (locally, regionally, and beyond), and improving tourism offerings. Individuals are not eligible for this funding.
There are two main categories of assistance: one for Advertising & Promotion (for example, promoting an event, attraction, or site through paid media, brochures, or public relations) and one for Preservation/Enhancement (for example, repairing or improving tourism‑related sites, or installing historical or cultural markers).
The grants are reimbursement‑type: recipients pay for approved expenses up front and then submit proof for reimbursement once the project or event is complete. Applicants must have a bank account, submit required proof of advertising or media, include the funder as a sponsor in promotional materials, and provide a final report and reimbursement request within a set period after the event or project.
The grant amounts range up to about $10,000, depending on the scope and type of project. Projects requesting this grant must occur during the applicable fiscal year (which runs from October 1 to September 30). Priority is given to projects that show how they will contribute to increasing tourism in a measurable way, complement other funding sources, or have existing commitments.
Overall, this opportunity is a useful option for organizations looking to promote events or improve historic, cultural, or tourism infrastructure, provided they meet the basic eligibility and reporting requirements.
If you are located in Mississippi and working in the area of Arts, Culture, History & Humanities, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
