Commercial Exterior Illumination Grant

As part of the Illuminate PVD initiative to energize Providence’s streets and public spaces through creative lighting, we’re excited to announce a new funding opportunity for businesses and organizations with storefronts in the city.

 

Eligible applicants can receive up to $1,500 to support exterior lighting improvements, including materials and/or labor costs. Qualifying projects may include architectural or façade lighting, gobo projections, sidewalk illumination, illuminated signage, and window displays.

 

Selected projects must be completed within 90 days of receiving funding. 


Note: Due to the extremely high demand for this inaugural program, we have  close applications but will offer this again in 2026. If you would like to receive an update about the next round of funding please complete this short contact form.
