The Starke County Convention and Visitors Commission (CVC) recently announced open grant opportunities to assist with funding upcoming events that promote and encourage conventions, visitors and tourism within Starke County.
This may include, but is not limited to, advertising, promotional activities, trade shows, special events, and recreation. Requests for funding operating expenses or salaries will not be considered.
An application is required. Funding requests should be limited to $2,000.
This opportunity is expected to be competitive and the decision to fund requests will be the sole responsibility of the Starke County CVC Board.
The application process is open now through Friday, November 3 and awardees will be notified no later than November 15. This is for events and projects that are planned for 2024.
These funds are available from the Inn Keeper tax which is paid by any person engaged in the business of short-term renting of rooms, lodging and accommodations for less than 30 days in Starke County.
