Special Event Grants
The Marshall County Convention & Visitor’s Bureau administers funds collected from a $1 surcharge tax on occupied hotels, motels, along with condominium and home rentals of six months or less, and $.25 surcharge tax on campground sites. The funds are designed to promote Marshall County as a visitor destination with emphasis in the following markets: meetings and conventions, special events, sporting events, group leisure travel, motion picture and television productions.
This grant program is for local groups and organizations coordinating events with a demonstrated history of visitor impact or significant potential to draw overnight visitors to the area.
Each application will be evaluated against established criteria and historic precedent. The number and extent of these grants will be dependent upon the availability of designated funds and specific allocations. Ideally, the funds allocated by the MCCVB will eventually be returned through an increase in lodging tax throughout the county.
