Destination Missoula and the Missoula Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) have event grant funds available

Are you planning a new Missoula event or trying to expand an already successful event but need a little help with funding? Destination Missoula and the Missoula Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) have good news for event planners: the Missoula TBID has event grant funds available, and you could qualify!

The purpose of the Missoula TBID Grant Fund is to provide funding to new and/or growing events, preferably in non-peak months (October-April) that will provide economic benefit through increased hotel room nights and other spending within the Missoula Community. These funds are made available through the support of the Missoula TBID lodging partners. For every occupied room night, guests are assessed $2.00 that is returned to Missoula to aid in tourism marketing and promotion within the district.

Here are some quick points to see if your event might qualify:

Event will produce a minimum of 100 NEW room nights (# of nights X # of rooms = # NEW room nights)

Applicant has proven ability to generate, track and report hotel room nights and economic impact of the event

Applicant is able to provide documentation of dollar for dollar match for the requested grant funds

Reaches potential visitors outside of Missoula, preferably 100+ miles

Has the potential to increase the number of visitors or to extend the visitors’ stay

Economically benefits the Missoula community

For more information about application requirements, questions, or to apply, please attend our FREE grant applicant workshop on Thursday, August 2nd from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in the MSO Hub Conference room, 140 N Higgins Ave, Second Floor. To register, please email your name and contact information to Mary Holmes at [email protected] or call 406.532.3398.
