The VA250 Commission offers grant programs to support local commemorative events, programs, and activities. Local VA250 committees whose local governing body has passed a resolution of support are encouraged to apply.
The VA250 Tourism Marketing Program, created in partnership between the VA250 Commission and the Virginia Tourism Corporation (VTC) is designed to support, promote, and market programming, events, and interpretive signage against the backdrop of the 250th commemoration. Virginia communities are encouraged to begin planning and preparations for statewide commemorations in the coming years. Programs must support the mission of the VA250 Commission and drive visitation to Virginia destinations.
This program is open twice per year through 2026. Applicants may apply in future rounds even if they have made a prior application.
For more information, please email VTCMLPGrant@virginia.org.
Virginia Humanities and VA250 have joined together to provide grants that will fund content development, exhibit design, and other humanities-related programs to localities.
Projects should be focused on content on the American Revolution and applicants should work with their local VA250 Committees. Applicants may apply for up to $10,000, and a 1:1 match is required. Grant recipients will use the VA250 logo and branding identification and submit a final report detailing outcomes, number of participants, and an evaluation of the program’s reach and success.
For questions, please contact Virginia Humanities Director of Grants and Fellowships, Adam Courville, at acourville@virginia.edu.
