Kansas grants for For profit organizations other than small businesses

This program provides funding to various organizations and businesses in Kansas to create or improve tourism attractions that will draw more visitors and stimulate the local economy.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for new marketing initiatives aimed at boosting tourism in Kansas, targeting not-for-profit organizations, for-profit businesses, government agencies, and other eligible entities involved in promoting travel destinations.

The BARN grant program aims to preserve Kansas barns, reviving underutilized, vacant, or dilapidated structures while fostering new economic activity through agritourism ventures. These building grants are specifically designed to rescue barns from likely demolition or collapse and rehabilitate them into spaces conducive for new or expanding agritourism businesses. The types of projects we are looking for with the BARN grant are those that will encourage people, particularly from out of state, to visit agritourism locations in Kansas. All projects should have an accountable tie to the tourism industry. The future uses of the barn, transformed through the BARN program, are not solely about preserving historical structures. Rather, they are about repurposing these spaces into vibrant hubs for agritourism activities, thereby injecting new life and economic opportunities into communities. Agritourism ventures capitalize on the appeal of agricultural experiences, offering visitors opportunities to engage with farming, local food production, and rural culture in immersive and educational ways.
