The mission of the Maine Office of Tourism is to stimulate and expand Maine's travel and tourism economy by coordinating the promotional efforts of the private sector with those of the Maine Office of Tourism itself and its Regional Destination Marketing Organizations.
The Maine Communities Grant Program aims to provide support to tourism-focused, community-oriented marketing projects and events. In each funding cycle, up to four grants are awarded in each of the eight designated Maine Tourism Regions. These grants offer financial assistance ranging from $2500 to $5000 to aid in the development and execution of projects that promote tourism and community engagement within Maine.
