Healdsburg Tourism Improvement District Accepting Grant Applications

HEALDSBURG, CA — The Healdsburg Tourism Improvement District (HTID) has opened grant applications for its next funding cycle, which includes projects taking place between May 2023 and October 2023.

The semi-annual grant program aims to fund arts, cultural and educational activities and subsequently promote room stays among the 31-member lodging properties within the city limits. Derived from the local hospitality industry’s annual bed tax receipts, total funding over the past three years has averaged $117,000 annually.

These grants allow Healdsburg to put on events that residents look forward to each year, while also attracting new visitors by enriching the destination with locally driven cultural experiences. In years past, grants have been awarded to events and organizations including Corazon Healdsburg, The Alexander Valley Film Festival, Healdsburg Jazz Festival, Healdsburg Center for the Arts, Tuesday Concerts in the Plaza, the Healdsburg Museum, Dia De Los Muertos events, the community favorite Fourth of July Parade and Duck Dash, and more.

Applications are now open through Friday, March 10, and grants will be announced on Friday, March 17. Grant applications are available through the online survey portal here and priority is given to events or projects that encourage tourism and take place mid-week.
