Tourism partners in Noble County are invited to consider applying to the Visit Noble County Tourism Grant program to help boost tourism in Noble County.
This grant funding opportunity is simple. Nonprofit organizations, individuals, festival committees, event centers, and other entities associated with efforts to increase tourism in Noble County, Indiana, may apply annually for a grant of up to $1,000.
An organization must be a 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), 501(c)(5), 501(c)(6) or 501 (c)(7) as determined by the Internal Revenue Service to apply for up to $1,000 in grant funding. For-profit companies are also eligible to apply, though they are restricted to receiving up to $500 twice each year ($1,000 max per calendar year) in sponsorship funds that may be used for marketing and branding purposes.
Tourism grant applicants must include an explanation of how funding will support a local event or the organization’s mission and vision statements. They must also outline how the proposed use of funds directly supports the mission of the Noble County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Application must be made using the application on the Visit Noble County website:
If selected, the applicant will receive 50% of the grant award upon approval of their application. After submission of a report on the overall outcome of the project funded, the other 50% of the grant award will be given. Sponsorship gifts will be awarded upon approval of application.
Two grant cycles are offered in 2024. Spring and fall grant cycles will be as follows:
Grant Cycle 1 will open on April 1 and close on April 15
Grant Cycle 2 will open on July 31 and close on August 14.
Applications need to be submitted within one of those time frames to be eligible for funding consideration. Questions may be directed to the staff of Visit Noble County.
