Thank you for your interest in the NYS Tourism Return-To-Work Grant Program. Your explanation will be reviewed as quickly as possible and you will be notified of the determination about your preliminary eligibility.
In the meantime, we encourage you to visit our webpage at: https://esd.ny.gov/tourism-return-work-grant-program for more information about the Program and the documentation you will need to submit a complete application. If you are a non-profit business, and ultimately receive a grant, you will also have to be pre-qualified in the NYS Grants Gateway. Please visit the Grants Gateway so you are familiar with the pre-qualification procedures should you receive a grant. Get Prequalified | Grants Management (ny.gov).
An email will also be sent to the contact email address you provided to confirm receipt of your preliminary application.

If you cannot find an email from this account, send an email to TourismReturntoWork@esd.ny.gov indicating that you submitted a preliminary application but did not receive a confirmation email.
If a determination is made of your preliminary eligibility based on the explanation you provided, an email will also be sent with a link to the webpage for submitting additional information when that page is available. You should receive an email with the link in the first quarter of 2022.
