The City of Cayce has recently announced the opening of their 2025 Hospitality and Accommodation Grants Program. This program was created to help support the city’s economic growth by supporting local businesses and other tourism-related initiatives.

The grants will provide a financial reward for select local businesses that are looking to drive tourism and economic activity around Cayce.

Applicants can use the grants to help with tourism marketing and promotion efforts, facility improvements and updates, event hosting, community programming or infrastructure projects that improve hospitality.

Those who apply must be a registered business or non-profit located in Cayce, offer services that support tourism, hospitality or accommodation and offer a plan for how the grant funding will be used to help benefit the community and enhance the visitor experience.

"We are excited to open the application process for the 2025 Hospitality and Accommodation Grants," Steven Gaither, grant manager for the City of Cayce, said in the press release."These grants are a key tool in supporting the local economy and fostering tourism growth in our community. We encourage local businesses and organizations to apply and take advantage of this valuable opportunity."

Applications are open now through March 31. Those interested can access the forms and additional guidelines at caycesc.gov/grants.
