RISCA: TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS IN GRANTS AVAILABLE NOW

From RI Commerce: HArT Grant opportunity for Arts Organizations

The Rhode Island Commerce Corporation is now accepting applications for Rhode Island Hotel, Arts & Tourism (HArT) Grants. The State has allocated $20 million for the program, with eligible businesses and nonprofits, including arts and culture organizations, able to receive grants of up to $1 million on a competitive basis.

 

The Rhode Island HArT Grant Program is comprised of two different competitive grant programs that aim to prevent closure of arts, culture, hospitality & tourism businesses and institutions while also building resilience to shifts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting their workforce, and engaging with their communities.

Of the $20 million grant allocation, $10 million will support Engagement, Service, and Resiliency (ESR) activities, with the remaining $10 million in the form of direct support for hotels, arts, culture, and tourism organizations.

 

Each funding stream within HArT has a different grant application.
