The City of Redmond will begin accepting applications for 2026 tourism grants the week of July 21, 2025, through 5:00 p.m*. on August 11, 2025. Funded by lodging tax revenue, these grants support projects that attract visitors from beyond a 50-mile radius, with priority given to those that encourage overnight stays in Redmond. Late applications will not be accepted.
Grant applicants may include cultural, historical, educational, sports, or community organizations coordinating events, tournaments, or promotions that draw tourism to Redmond. Grants may not exceed 50% of the total project cost.
The Redmond Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) will evaluate all qualifying applications based on official tourism funding criteria and a weighted scoring system. Final recommendations are submitted to the City Council for approval.
