2023 Borough Culture Grant Program

The 2023 Borough Culture Grant Program is funded by the NYC & Company Foundation — the charitable arm of New York City’s travel and tourism destination marketing organization. This grant program supports New York City as a culturally vibrant destination by funding the promotion of not-for-profit arts & cultural programs and events in all five boroughs. These micro grants are meant to be for the marketing and promotion of cultural programs and organizations.

All grant recipients must be registered as a 501(c)3 with the State of New York. Projects eligible for funding under the program should be tourist facing and shall include, but are not limited to, promotional materials for cultural institutions, programs, and events (i.e. paid media, print or digital content, and/or videos).

Grant recipients are selected by Queens Borough President’s Office, in accordance with the guidelines defined by the Foundation’s Board of Directors. Funding is administered by the Office after verification of recipient eligibility by the Foundation.

Deadline to submit proposals to our office is the close of business on Friday, April 14, 2023.
