The City of Belleville Grant Committee has opened applications for the second round of tourism grants.
The tourism funding stream supports activations that draw visitors from outside the City of Belleville, promote new spending and overnight stays in the city, and meet current tourism market demand.
Council has recently approved the creation of an additional stream for Tourism Grant applicants that extends eligibility beyond not-for-profit organizations.
Under this new stream, eligible applicants may apply for financial funding; however, funding under this stream will not be eligible to access in-kind municipal services.
Stream 1
• Eligibility: Not-for-profit organizations for initiatives that attract visitors, generate overnight stays and promote new spending in the city.
• Funding: A maximum of $10,000 is available, which can include financial assistance and/or municipal in-kind resources (e.g., facility rentals, equipment).
Stream 2
• Eligibility: Enterprises and businesses (individually or in consortium) involved in festivals and events, arts and culture, heritage, agri-culinary initiatives, sports, recreation, meetings and conventions and related sectors.
• Funding: A maximum of $10,000 is available for funding assistance.
Applications will remain open until 4:30 p.m. on April 30.
