Darke County Visitors Bureau
Tourism Grants Available To Local Events
& Festivals In 2019
GREENVILLE, Ohio (January 16, 2019) – Funds are available to non-profit
organizations sponsoring special events in Darke County through the
Darke County Visitors Bureau in 2019. Four grants are available for
2018: two $1,000 grants and two $500 grants.
Grants are awarded on a competitive basis, with primary consideration
given to events which:
(1) are new events that were created in the last year; (2) promote
overnight stays and collaboration with other organizations, and 3) have
an impact on the community. In an effort to address needs-based
concerns, smaller events (events with budgets below $5,000) will be
exclusively eligible for the two $500 grants, though they may apply for
the $1,000 grants if they wish to do so.
Interested non-profit organizations should contact the Darke County
Visitors Bureau (DCVB) immediately for consideration. All completed
application forms and support materials must be in the Darke County
Visitors Bureau office by March 15th, 2019. Application packets will
then be reviewed by an independent group of citizens from all across
Darke County serving on the DCVB’s Tourism Grant Committee. All
applicants will be informed of the decision on or about April 15th,
2019.
To receive a tourism grant packet, contact Matthew Staugler at the
Darke County Visitors Bureau,
(937) 548-5158 or mstaugler@visitdarkecounty.org. Information can also
be found on the bureau’s website, www.VisitDarkeCounty.org.
