Funding Available for Tourism and Cultural Investment Grants

The City of Spokane is inviting applications for its Tourism and Cultural Investment (TACI) grants, which offer up to $10,000 to eligible organizations. These grants are funded by a lodging excise tax, established under state law RCW 67. 28. 1817, designed to enhance the city's tourism and cultural landscape. The initiative aims to draw more visitors to Spokane and solidify its reputation as a cultural destination.

Interested parties can attend an optional workshop on September 17 for technical assistance, available both virtually and in person. To RSVP, potential applicants can contact the provided email address. Applications are due by 5 p. m. on October 10, 2025, and will be evaluated through a public process.

This funding opportunity reflects Spokane's commitment to investing in its cultural offerings and tourism growth. Such initiatives are crucial for the local economy and community engagement.
