From WELCOME BG OHIO
Visit BG Ohio is accepting applications for their Tourism Grant for eligible Organizations and Events. There are various grants available for those looking to improve their existing events or bring conventions and meetings to Bowling Green.
The purpose of the grant is to promote eligible tourism activities within the City of Bowling Green.
The program provides financial support for capital projects, events, and activities that generate publicity and substantially increase travel (overnight stays or day visits) to Bowling Green for recreation or leisure.
Visit BG Ohio Tourism Grants are generated by the city’s share of sales taxes collected on overnight stays within the City of Bowling Green (lodging tax).
The grant is a reimbursement grant and not designed to cover the cost of a project.
Each application/proposed project will be reviewed individually to determine its potential economic impact on lodging, restaurants, shopping venues, and local attractions. Funding priorities for the Visit BG Ohio Tourism Grant are capital improvement; sports, conferences, festivals, and large events; and arts and culture.
The due date for the application is Friday, Sept. 30 and more information can be found at: visitbgohio.org/about/
