Grants: Level 2 Mid-Level Grant

Attention ALL Applicants
  • There will be three (3) cycles in 2025:
    • January 2025
    • May 2025
    • September 2025
  • The New Orleans Tourism and Cultural Fund (NOTCF) Grants Program will implement an automated lottery-based system effective January 2025. This update is part of our continued effort to provide fairness, equity, and accessibility to all eligible applicants.
  • Once the automated system has determined the review order applications will be vetted by staff.
  • Applications selected in the automated system that do not have all necessary documentation will not be reviewed, and the applicant will be notified through their Submittable profile.
  • Applications that are not reviewed because the maximum number of award applications are reached will be notified through Submittable.
  • Applicants will be approved only once per year.
  • The grant portal will be open for 24 hours with no limit to the number of submissions accepted.
  • Applicants with missing documents will automatically be denied. Applicants that have been denied can reapply during a future grant cycle.
  • For-profit businesses that have been awarded at least three (3) grants, the fourth (4th) and future grants are limited to Level 2 ($2,501-$9,999). This encourages for-profit businesses to seek other revenue streams or consider expanding the services to increase revenues and sustain their businesses.
  • We do not reserve uploaded documents from previous applications for applicants. Applicants must resubmit all required documentation each time a new application is submitted.
  • Effective June 1, 2024, all grant applications must be submitted 120 days or more before the event/project begins.

Level 2 grants offer $2,501-$9,999 for mid-level projects that reach larger audiences and support organizations or businesses. Ideal for training cultural workers, larger community events, and initiatives with broader impact on New Orleans’ cultural economy.
