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.
