The state’s official tourism promotion agency, Explore Minnesota, will award matching funds through grants for nonprofit destination marketing organizations (DMOs) and tribal governments to promote travel for the benefit of the state’s communities.
Grants are at the levels of $5,000, $10,000, and $20,000, with various marketing initiatives funded by each level. The DMO or tribal government must provide matching funds equal to the amount of the grant. Bordering communities with a Minnesota Tax ID Number may also apply for these grants.
