Is a government entity, such as a municipality (city or town), eligible to apply for grant funding through Tourism Cares?
No, a government entity, such as a municipality, would not be eligible to apply as it does not have a non-profit, tax-exempt status. However, if a municipality partners with an organization recognized by the U. S. Internal Revenue Service as having 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt status, that organization may request grant funding for the project on behalf of the municipality. Q: May a commercial, for profit organization that is also combined with historic, cultural, or environmental use apply for grant funding with Tourism Cares (such as a bed-and-breakfast in an historic building)? A: No.
