Commerce’s Tourism Grant Program Accepting Applications

The Montana Department of Commerce is currently accepting applications for its Tourism Grant Program. Up to $750,000 will be awarded to projects that strengthen Montana’s economy through the development and enhancement of the State’s tourism and recreation industry.

“Montana’s number one resource is our spectacular, unspoiled nature and our vibrant, charming towns, it’s what brings visitors here,” said Commerce Director Tara Rice. “These grants can help strengthen a community’s ability to increase economic vitality for their Main Street businesses through tourism.”

In 2018, 12.4 million non-resident visitors spent $3.7 billion in communities across Montana.
