Town of Kiawah SATAX Grant Applications

Town of Kiawah Island Now Accepting 2026 State Accommodations Tax Grant Applications 

Each year, the Town of Kiawah Island accepts applications from organizations vying for funding from the Town’s 2% State Accommodations Tax Funds. 

The applications will be reviewed by the Town’s State Accommodations Tax Committee (SATAX), and qualified applications will be forwarded to the Ways and Means for recommendation to the Town Council with recommendations for funding. There will be at least two windows per calendar year for applicants to apply for funding.

Once forwarded, recommendations for funding will be evaluated by the Town Council of Kiawah Island, and funding approval may then be granted. The Town encourages and prioritizes applications from organizations located or operating within the Town, with the planned use of funds within the town of Kiawah.  However, if funds exist, the Town will consider funding organizations located outside of the town for qualified projects within or near the town. Interested organizations can learn more and apply here.
