Eligible entities include the (1) regional tourism boards, (2) municipalities, and (3) non-profit organizations. The Corporation may make awards in amounts up to $100,000. Proposed events should assist in the recovery, maintenance, and development of new and existing attractions and destination events. By promoting, maintaining, and improving existing attractions as well as assisting in the development of new ones, it is anticipated that awards under this RFP will bring more visitors to the State and help current Rhode Islanders to be more active in the State’s tourism industry, with special attention to recurring events in the off-season. Proposals may provide a suite of ideas for events or a single event.
