Competitive Small Grants Cycle Now Open
Today, Travel Oregon opens the 2019-2020 Competitive Small Grants program.
The program makes awards eligible to applicants for projects that contribute to the development and improvement of the tourism economy in communities throughout the state, supporting Travel Oregon’s vision of “a better life for Oregonians through strong, sustainable local economies.”
Eligible projects may be awarded up to $20,000. Applicants must demonstrate at least a 10% cash match. Download the Competitive Small Grants Guidelines<https://t.e2ma.net/click/tajrub/5nlfhbb/1cunvn> for specific eligibility requirements and to view the application questions.

Once the form is submitted, applicants will receive a confirmation email with a link and access code to the grant application.
