Manhattan Cultural Tourism Grant
Funded and administered by the New York City Tourism Foundation, the Manhattan Cultural Grant supports marketing and promotion of cultural activities in Manhattan.
Organizations and projects that support this mission are selected by Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine. The NYC & Company Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable and educational organization whose mission is to support tourism to New York City by promoting the arts and cultural organizations that make visiting New York a special and exciting experience.
We are excited to share that in collaboration with New York City Tourism Foundation the 2025 Manhattan Cultural Grant application portal is open. Applications must be submitted no later than March 3, 2025 or they will not be considered. This year, all applications will be submitted through a Tourism Foundation link. All applicants will be asked to create a log-in and can save the application mid-completion and submitted at a later time. We are excited to review your applications that support the nonprofit arts community through cultural tourism development, audience education and outreach projects. The cultural grants focus on educating domestic and international audiences about the vibrant and diverse cultural community throughout Manhattan. Please see the Tourism Foundation link to review program guidelines and submit your projects for consideration.
