2012 Tourism Cares Worldwide

Tourism Cares, through its Worldwide Grant Program, is making a difference at cultural, historical and natural tourism-related sites around the world. The nonprofit, tax-exempt public charities may apply for projects to conserve, preserve, or restore the site, or educate visitors to the site. These requests may include brick-and-mortar capital improvement projects or educational programs which will enhance interpretation of the site. In 2012, Tourism Cares intends to give two groups of six Worldwide Grants at $10,000 each for an annual total of $120,000.
