The Dubois County Visitors Center & Tourism Commission is now accepting applications for grants from the Tourism Promotion Fund. Grant applications are open to not-for-profit, tourism-related groups, festivals, events, attractions, sporting events/organizations, and others which will increase visitor attendance from outside the immediate area. Approved applications for projects or events that have previously been funded may receive new grant money if additional tourism benefit can be proven. Special consideration will be given to organizations establishing first-time events.
To request an application, please contact Kristen Ruhe, executive director of the Dubois County Visitors Center & Tourism Commission, at 482-9115. Completed applications must be received no later than January15, 2008 to be considered for funding.
