We’re dedicated to helping communities develop successful programs, events, assets and destinations. Over the past seven years, more than $20.2 million has been awarded to support hundreds of projects and organizations across the state through Travel Oregon’s grant programs.

In 2020, Travel Oregon adapted it Competitive Grants Program that awarded funding based on small, medium and large requests to better meet the evolving needs of response and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

In fall of 2022, Travel Oregon opened a Capacity and Small Project Grants program and in winter of 2023, awarded funding to support tourism infrastructure that is accessible/inclusive and projects that centered on accessible/inclusive tourism promotion.

Planning is currently underway for the 2024 Competitive Grants Program with grant guidelines available in early fall and the award announcement made prior to June 30, 2025.
