The City of Gig Harbor is offering its 2025 Lodging Tax Grants, aimed at supporting tourism-related operations or marketing within the city. This program is funded by a percentage of hotel/motel taxes collected from lodging establishments within city limits, which the Department of Revenue then distributes back to the City of Gig Harbor. These funds are specifically designated for tourism-related capital facilities, non-event operations, and event marketing and operations, aligning with the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Chapter 67.28, which details the use and reporting of tourism funds. The primary beneficiaries of this grant funding are non-profit organizations and municipalities that can demonstrate the ability to achieve specific tourism-related goals. The overarching impact goal is to stimulate economic activity through tourism. This includes increasing hotel/lodging occupancy within Gig Harbor by creating overnight stays and boosting the number of visitors traveling from more than 50 miles away, or from other states or countries. The program's strategic priority is to enhance Gig Harbor's appeal as a tourist destination, thereby generating economic benefits for the local community. The grant program focuses on activities and expenditures designed to increase tourism. This encompasses a broad range of efforts, including advertising, publicizing, and distributing information to attract and welcome tourists, developing strategies to expand tourism, operating tourism promotion agencies, and funding the marketing or operation of special events and festivals. All applications must include estimated outcomes, demonstrating how the proposed activities will lead to an increase in overnight stays and visitors from outside the 50-mile radius or from other states/countries. Expected outcomes and measurable results are central to this grant. Applicants are required to provide additional information in their applications to ensure that data on increased overnight stays and visitors is collected. The City of Gig Harbor Lodging Tax Advisory Committee evaluates proposals based on factors such as the estimated amount of lodging tax funds available, the thoroughness and completeness of the proposal, the percentage of the request relative to promotion budgets and overall revenues, projected economic impact (especially overnight stays), the applicant's financial stability, and their history of tourism promotion success. This rigorous evaluation process reflects a theory of change where strategic investment in tourism promotion directly translates to quantifiable economic growth and increased visitor engagement.

The City of St. Petersburg is offering Social Action Funding grants of up to $100,000 to social service agencies providing homeless services and/or homeless prevention services. This grant program aims to offer financial support for initiatives that positively influence the lives of homeless individuals and those at risk of homelessness within the city. The program aligns with a broader mission to advance the health, economic, or social well-being of persons in need. The target beneficiaries include a wide range of vulnerable populations. Priority is given to agencies serving families with children (ages 0-5 and 6-17 years), elderly individuals over 62, unaccompanied youth, youth aging out of foster care, chronically homeless individuals (as defined by HUD), veterans, and victims of domestic violence. The overarching impact goal is to reduce and prevent homelessness in St. Petersburg by supporting comprehensive social service programs. The program prioritizes agencies that utilize a "housing first" and low-barrier approach. Specific critical services, such as storage units for personal items, call centers for homelessness prevention and assistance, and discretionary funds for street outreach, are also encouraged, allowing agencies to submit additional applications for these services. While there are no bonus points for matching funds or sole source proposals, all agencies are required to enter client data into the Pinellas Homeless Management Information System, with domestic violence providers being the sole exception. Expected outcomes include improved well-being for residents who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Measurable results will likely involve tracking the number of individuals and families served, successful housing placements, and the overall impact on reducing homelessness within the city. The grant period for projects is from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025, allowing for a one-year duration of funded services. This strategic approach emphasizes direct intervention and support for those most in need, with a clear focus on actionable and impactful services.
