Hit the Road with Travel and Tourism Grants for Nonprofits

Join GrantWatch as we hit the road with tourism and travel grants for nonprofits and other agencies this summer! Just imagine, you’re driving across the country to visit relatives, take that much-needed sabbatical alone, or sightseeing with your besties. Isn’t it nice to stop and stay overnight in a charming little hotspot of a town? Grants make it possible! After all, travel is a powerful tool for research, education, and cultural exchange. It’s also the perfect way to spend quality time with your family.

Tourism and travel grants give communities a boost by funding historic preservation, sports venues, festivals, and tourist attractions. These grants help create jobs, strengthen local economies, and protect cultural heritage. That’s why GrantWatch is hitting the road with travel and tourism grants. In fact, if you’re a nonprofit or local business, these grants are for you! What’s more, GrantWatch has nearly 400 of these grants in our database.
