About the Maine Tourism Marketing Partnership Program (MTMPP)
The Maine Tourism Marketing Partnership Program (MTMPP) was established to help tourism-related non-profit organizations promote Maine as a travel destination through innovative marketing projects and collaborative campaigns.
MTMPP grants are designed to support projects that align with statewide tourism priorities, encourage regional partnerships, and enhance Maine’s brand identity. These funds help extend the reach of local marketing efforts, drive sustainable visitation, and strengthen Maine’s tourism economy across its diverse regions.
Helping Maine Communities Thrive
Through our marketing grants, the Maine Office of Tourism supports local efforts that celebrate Maine’s authentic character, spark curiosity in visitors, and contribute to long-term community vitality.
Thriving communities are built on a healthy balance of economy, environment, and culture. By supporting thoughtful, community-rooted marketing efforts, MTMPP grants aim to:
Attract values-aligned visitors who respect Maine’s landscapes and way of life.
Encourage collaboration between local partners to amplify impact.
Strengthen cultural and natural stewardship through meaningful storytelling.
Boost economic vitality while protecting what makes Maine unique.
