Tourism grants
available to local events and festivals
GREENVILLE, Ohio (December 4, 2015) – Funds are available to non-profit
organizations sponsoring special events in Darke County through the
Darke County Visitors Bureau in 2016.
Grants are awarded on a competitive basis, with primary consideration
given to applications, which: (1) attract overnight visitors; (2)
attract visitors from more than 50 miles outside of Darke County and 3)
feature new or expanded events or programs.
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 January 31, 2016. 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 February 28,
2016. Recipients are required to attend a free tourism orientation
workshop and submit a final report.
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 on the home page and on the ‘news and press’ page,
VisitDarkeCounty.org.
