The City of Spokane has announced the availability of funding for Spokane Tourism and Cultural Investment (TACI) grants. These grants are aimed at organizations that enhance Spokane’s tourism and cultural landscape.
The primary goal of this initiative is to attract more visitors to the city and bolster its cultural offerings. Funding stems from state law RCW 67.28.1817, which mandates a lodging excise tax collected from hotels. Revenue from this tax is allocated to initiatives that promote tourism. Grants can reach a maximum of $10,000 per organization.
A prerecorded workshop is available for technical assistance. For further inquiries, please email taciapp@spokanecity.org by Wednesday, Sept. 30, at 5 p.m.
Important Dates:
- Application Deadline: Thursday, Oct. 15, at 5 p.m.
Funding will be awarded through a public process that involves submission, review, and evaluation of applications for eligibility and competitiveness via the City of Spokane’s online portal.
