The Miami County Visitors & Convention Bureau (MCVCB) is offering tourism grants for 2025 with $30,000 in available funds, up to a maximum of $6,000 per grant. The program's core mission is to develop and bolster destination assets and enhance the visitor experience within Miami County, ultimately driving visitation, overnight stays, and increased visitor spending in local communities. This aligns with the MCVCB's broader goal of strengthening the area's liveability by enhancing its destination assets and encouraging collaboration within Miami County and the wider region. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are local and regional organizations involved in tourism-related activities in Miami County. The impact goals are to strengthen Miami County's image as a visitor/group destination, enhance the visitor/resident experience, and demonstrate measurable community or economic benefits. The MCVCB aims to achieve these by supporting projects that directly contribute to increased tourism and economic growth. The program prioritizes new or expanded projects and events that elevate the visitor experience, including photography, videography, community wayfinding signage, placemaking, and enhancements to visitor attractions and museums (e.g., programming, art installations, interactive exhibits). Marketing and promotional opportunities are also key focuses. Priority will be given to first-time projects and those promoting out-of-county visitation with a broader impact than just local. Projects that capitalize on off-peak or shoulder seasons are also highly valued. Expected outcomes include a discernible increase in visitor traffic, overnight stays, and visitor revenue within Miami County. The program's theory of change posits that by investing in projects that enhance the visitor experience and promote the region, the MCVCB can stimulate economic growth and improve the overall liveability of Miami County. Measurable results will be assessed based on the project's ability to demonstrate a measurable community or economic benefit, track increases in overnight stays, and contribute to visitor revenue. Grant funds may not exceed 50% of total project costs, encouraging co-funding and in-kind contributions, further amplifying the impact of the grants.

The Farm and Food Growth Fund (FFGF) administers a portion of New York State’s Department of Agriculture and Markets USDA Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure (RFSI) grant program. This program, funded by the American Rescue Plan (ARP) of 2021, aims to enhance, grow, and improve the mid-channel of the food supply chain within New York State. The overarching mission alignment is to expand each state’s middle-chain capacity and infrastructure for the aggregation, processing, manufacturing, storage, transporting, wholesaling, or distribution of targeted local and regional agricultural food products, excluding meat, poultry, cannabis, animal food and forage, fiber, and wild-caught seafood. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are New York State agricultural producers, processors, groups of producers and processors, nonprofit organizations, local government entities, tribal governments, and institutions such as schools, universities, or hospitals that bring producers together to establish cooperative or shared infrastructure or invest in equipment for middle-of-the-supply-chain activities. The impact goals are to increase the supply of New York-sourced food products available in New York and regional markets, benefit multiple producers and markets, and support the development of new value-added products. The program prioritizes infrastructure development to expand business capacity for processing, aggregation, storage, and distribution. Specific focuses include targeting infrastructure projects to the dairy, fruit and vegetable, and organic industries. Another key priority is to create greater market access to intermediaries like food hubs, aggregators, wholesalers, and distributors, with the goal of increasing local food sales to institutions such as schools, hospitals, and correctional facilities. Expected outcomes include expanded processing capacities, modernized equipment and facilities, increased packaging and labeling capabilities, enhanced worker safety, and greater storage space, including cold storage. The program also seeks to develop and install climate-smart equipment that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, increases water use efficiency, and improves air/water quality. Measurable results would involve an increase in New York-sourced food products in local markets, a greater number of businesses with expanded processing and distribution capacities, and an increase in local food sales to institutions, ultimately strengthening the resilience and efficiency of the state's food supply chain.
