Financial assistance available through new Minneapolis Cultural Market Grant Program

The City of Minneapolis has launched a new, one-time Cultural Market Small Business Support program. This program provides grants from $10,000 to $50,000 to cultural mall operators to assist in maintaining the vibrancy, security, and commerce of cultural malls located in the city of Minneapolis. The grants can fund activities that provide a common benefit to mall tenants and customers overall.

These malls provide important, culturally unique goods and services to the community, facilitate participation in the economy for entrepreneurs and small businesses, and are accessible to the public. The City has a total of $400,000 in one-time funding for this program.

The grant application is available online now. The deadline to apply is 4 p.m. on Thursday, February 8, 2024. Visit the Cultural Market Small Business Support Program webpage to view the detailed Notice of Funding Availability document and the online application.

This opportunity and other funding and proposal notices are regularly posted on the City of Minneapolis website at Community Planning and Development RFPs.
