ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Governor Larry Hogan announced on Friday recipients of 32 awards totaling more than $8 million to tourism-related nonprofits through the Maryland Strong Economic Recovery Initiative.
This is part of the more than $600 million in emergency economic relief that the state has announced to date.
The program provides grants up to $500,000 for the state's nonprofit and tourism producing organizations!
"The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on many of Maryland's great cultural, educational, and historical institutions," said Governor Hogan. "We're proud to dedicate this funding through our Maryland Strong Economic Recovery Initiative to help our nonprofit partners weather this storm and keep Marylanders on their payrolls."
