Morgan County Courthouse Community Grant Programs To Build a Better Destination The Morgan County Convention & Visitors Bureau has developed special community grant programs to help organizations within our community better develop and promote high quality visitor experiences. We strongly encourage individuals and organizations who qualify to consider applying for these funds. Festival and Event Grant Program This grant program was created to help grow local tourism festivals and events within Morgan County. The Festival and Event Grants may be awarded to qualifying events that promote a positive image of Morgan County through encouraging overnight or day trip visits to Morgan County; visitation during off-peak months; creating a direct local economic impact; drawing a minimum of 150 people to the county; and/or drawing positive media exposure. Grant funds may be used for marketing a festival or event to regional markets outside of Morgan County; for event website development; and/or for the enhancement of festival or event programming. **The Festival and Event Grant process has been simplified for 2020 and 2021. Applications may be submitted at any time and awards will be given based on the size of events and the availability of funds.** 2021 Festival & Event Sponsorship Form Cooperative Marketing Match Program Created to assist visitor-oriented businesses and events in their individual marketing efforts, these matching funds allow us to stretch our Morgan County marketing dollars and assist local businesses and organizations in promoting themselves to visitors. This program allows Morgan County visitor/tourism-based businesses or events to apply for a 50% reimbursement toward paid advertising in markets outside of Morgan County. Applications accepted between January 1 and December 1, 2021, but money is awarded on a first come, first served basis until designated funds are exhausted. 2021 Cooperative Marketing Match Application The Tourism Enhancement & Development Fund Visit Morgan County also maintains a fund called the Tourism Enhancement and Development (TED) Fund, which is available to assist organizations that invest in quality local projects that meet our mission.
