Good to Great Grant Program 
The Good to Great grant program provides funding for Capital Projects that link art, history and tourism in ways that enable cultural and historical sites to enhance the visitors' experience.  This funding is targeted for small to medium-sized cultural organizations with an average annual income of $500,000 or less and which have received limited state funding in the recent past.  The Department of Economic and Community Development seeks applications which look beyond basic facilities repair or expansion to projects that tell the stories of our cultural and historic sites in engaging, meaningful, and relevant ways.  We are prioritizing funding for collaborative projects that demonstrate a clear vision of how individual sites and organizations can effectively tie together local, regional or statewide cultural assets.
