The mission of the New Orleans Tourism and Cultural Fund is to support cultural industries and culture bearers of the City of New Orleans through partnerships, grants, and programs to advance sustainable tourism.
Our non-profit economic development corporation is dedicated to strengthening New Orleans culture-bearers with resources that uplift the city’s traditions and aid the evolution of skills, knowledge, and ideas into goods, services, and places that support our local cultural economy and tourism offerings.
Individuals and organizations who align with this mission are encouraged to apply for funding.
Culture Bearer definition
NOTCF recognizes culture bearers as both the traditional New Orleans cultural creatives and cultural entities that fuel tourism by creating experiences that make New Orleans a vibrant city.”
