Discover Manitowoc Grant
The City of Manitowoc’s Department of Tourism, City of Manitowoc Room Tax Commission and Visit Manitowoc Board offer the Discover Manitowoc Grant Program by providing funding assistance to bring events and projects to fruition and more visitors to events held in the City of Manitowoc through targeted and effective marketing strategies.
If you have a great event or project in the City of Manitowoc that is well-organized, attracts overnight visitors to Manitowoc and could benefit from additional funding for marketing efforts, then you could be a good candidate for a grant. All awards are contingent upon available funding, and there is a three-year funding limit maximum for projects/events.
The 2026 application period is now closed. The 2027 grant cycle will open in early January and close mid-February. All 2026 grant guidelines can be found here. Email Courtney Hansen at chansen@manitowoc.org with any questions about this program.
