The Fremont County Tourism Council is accepting applications for 2024 Community Event Funding!
The Fremont County Tourism Council (FCTC) serves as the region’s statutory destination marketing organization (DMO). The FCTC is charged with investing revenue collected through a 2% Lodging Tax to promote and market the region as a destination for tourism, outdoor recreation, and leisure travel. Because lodging tax is collected by area hotels, motels, campgrounds and other lodging facilities, a primary objective of the FCTC and this program is to increase paid, overnight lodging.
GUIDELINES & QUALIFICATIONS
To be considered for funding, please complete this application in its entirety. One supplemental page supporting the application may be added, if desired. Funding will be determined solely on the merits of this application; no presentations will be required. Funding is available only to organizations located in, and for events occurring in Fremont County.
CONSIDERATIONS
Funding will be awarded only for events/projects where applicants can demonstrate a high likelihood or demonstrated history of attracting overnight guests from outside of Fremont County to lodging facilities in Fremont County. Additional consideration will be given to organizations that demonstrate a marketing/advertising plan with high potential of reaching potential visitors from out of the region, encouraging overnight stays.
Applicants should submit completed application materials as a single PDF document to the FCTC by email to funding@royalgorgetravel.com with the subject line “Community Funding Application” by February 15, 2024.
