America250 Nevada Grant

America250 Nevada Grant

With $250,000 in matching funds available through the Nevada Arts Council and Travel Nevada, the America250 Grant supports events, programs, and projects that celebrate Nevada’s unique contributions to the American story—while also promoting rural tourism. This dedicated funding opportunity enables Nevada’s rural communities to share their stories, preserve their heritage, and create impactful, tourism-driven initiatives. The grant program is part of the nationwide America250 celebration, a non-partisan, six-month observance (January 1–July 4, 2026) marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Funding is made possible through room tax revenue allocated by the Nevada State Legislature.
