Special Events Funding through the American Rescue Plan
The City of Raleigh has received federal American Rescue Plan Act funds to respond to COVID-19 and its negative economic impacts. Those funds are now available to assist agencies in producing high-quality, equitable events that will enhance Raleigh’s cultural environment and strengthen the local economy.
The Office of Emergency Management and Special Events has issued a Notice of Funding Availability and is accepting proposals to help event organizers offset the costs associated with hosting special events that take place in City streets, public plazas, and Dorothea Dix Park. More information on program requirements and selection criteria can be found on the Special Events Funding webpage.
