CRA GFS Promotional & Special Event Grant Program

The City of Tallahassee Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is kicking off its 2019 Promotional/Special Event Grant Program. The CRA has $50,000 available to fund the program, which supports smaller events taking place in the Greater Frenchtown/Southside (GFS) redevelopment district areas.

The grant funds will be available to qualified not-for-profit organizations that will host promotional/special events during Fiscal Year 2019, which starts on October 1, 2018, and ends on September 30, 2019, within the GFS redevelopment district. The maximum grant amount per application under the Promotional/Special Event Grant Program is $5,000, with no minimum grant amount.

Applications are currently being accepted. The application period will end at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, August 17, unless extended by the CRA. Applications will be reviewed and scored based on a competitive process with the highest scored applications being funded. Program details, including the application, are available at http://www.talgov.com/cra/cra-pse-grant.aspx or may be picked up in person from the CRA office, located on the third floor of City Hall, 300 South Adams Street.

The CRA will host a pre-application workshop for those not-for-profit organizations interested in applying for grant funding. The workshop will cover the guidelines and applications for the program. It will be held on Tuesday, July 31, from 6-8 p.m. in the second-floor conference room of the Frenchtown Renaissance Center, located at 435 North Macomb Street. Attendance at the pre-application workshop is not required but is strongly encouraged.
