Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. (DGRI) is accepting applications for a new round of Activate Grants.
The Activate Grant program offers funding for public space activations that bring vibrancy to Downtown Grand Rapids and culturally enhance our community. Proposals can include artworks, events, murals and more. Proposed activations must be suitable for all audiences, accessible for all abilities and open to the public.
DGRI’s Activation Manager, Katie Moore, conducted a virtual Q&A session in June to will walk through the application materials and answer questions about the grant. Video of that session can be accessed here:
Applicants are encouraged to reach out to Katie with any questions about their proposed project or location: kmoore@downtowngr.org
Activate Grant applications are due by July 27, 2025.
