In an effort to be a true partner in destination marketing and development, the MCVCB developed three specific grants programs.

Montgomery County, Indiana Grant Programs

Cooperative Marketing Program

This program is open to any tourism related business or event that advertises outside the county and meets the established program criteria.  Individual Montgomery County tourism based businesses, or event, can apply for a 50/50 match/reimbursement toward paid advertising for markets outside of Montgomery County (reinforcing efforts of increasing either length of stay or creating a new overnight visitor).

Community Pride/Quality of Place Events (QPE)

Economic Impact Events

Events that utilize local facilities (e.g., sports facilities). Sponsorships for these events are based on anticipated return on investment (ROI), and a positive economic impact to the area (room nights, groceries, gasoline, restaurants, etc.). Sponsorship for these events requires an end-of-event measurable results report.
