EXPLORE TWO RIVERS
OPPORTUNITY GRANT INTRO & FAQ
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Explore Two Rivers Opportunity Grant program acknowledges the pivotal role of Two Rivers’ arts, cultural, nature, and heritage venues in driving tourism and fostering a thriving community. Annually, these diverse attractions contribute significantly to the generation of Room Tax revenue, thereby amplifying their economic impact. A portion of these Room Tax funds are allocated to provide Opportunity Grants, which range from $500 to $5,000 and are distributed quarterly.
The Explore Two Rivers Tourism Grant program supports tourism-related initiatives within and around the city by providing financial assistance for projects, marketing efforts, and events. This competitive grant program has been established to provide direct operating and marketing assistance grants to organizations that host and operate existing or new tourism events.
