The Rochester Downtown Alliance (RDA) is accepting applications for the Start-Up Event Grant, which funds new events, fresh ideas, and exciting programs that will encourage community and business engagement in downtown Rochester. It is important to note that this grant is a partial reimbursement-based grant. Award funding will be distributed half upfront and half post-event.
This grant focuses on partnering with individuals/community organizations to build sustainable and effective events that align with RDA’s mission “to create, enhance, and promote a downtown experience that is welcoming, fun and livable,” and engage a range of cultures, ages, and backgrounds.
