Remy Martin This is My City National Grant

Rémy Martin’s “This Is My City” Grant is a private funding opportunity created to support community-focused creative entrepreneurs making a lasting cultural and economic impact. Sponsored by Circular Board, Inc., doing business as Hello Alice, and in collaboration with Rémy Cointreau USA, Inc., the grant aims to amplify the work of visionary artists, musicians, designers, DJs, radio personalities, fashion creatives, community space operators, and other cultural entrepreneurs who are deeply rooted in their communities. The grant will award one local leader a $20,000 unrestricted grant along with one-on-one mentorship from industry leaders. The goal is to accelerate the recipient’s business growth and amplify their positive impact on the local community. Eligible uses of the funding include initiatives that demonstrate a commitment to cultural change, economic opportunity, and mission-driven practices in the community. To qualify, applicants must be 21 years or older and serve as the leading executive (e.g., Founder, CEO, CFO, or COO) of a U.S.-based, for-profit business that focuses on creative or cultural industries such as music, visual arts, performance arts, design, food and beverage, or cultural education. The business must also demonstrate a strong track record of local community engagement and possess a detailed growth plan that funding and mentorship can help realize. Applicants must submit a completed online application form via Hello Alice’s website between June 24, 2025, at 8 AM EST and July 18, 2025, at 6 PM EST. The application includes a series of questions regarding the applicant and their business. All applications are judged by a panel consisting of representatives from Hello Alice, Rémy Cointreau USA, Inc., and designated agencies. Applications are scored based on founder experience and commitment (30%), the plan for using funds and mentorship to accelerate business growth (30%), and demonstrated community engagement (40%). There is no cost to apply, and each applicant may only submit one entry. The winning entry will be selected after multiple review rounds. The grant recipient will be notified via email or phone. In the event of a tie, the entry with the highest score in the “founder experience” category will be selected. Sponsor may conduct interviews or request additional materials for review. Contact information for questions is not explicitly provided in the source materials. For more information, applicants are encouraged to review the official Terms and Conditions and FAQ sections on the Hello Alice grant application website. The grant is not offered on a rolling basis but may recur, with future application cycles to be confirmed.
