The Nebraska Legislature has appropriated $250,000 to the Nebraska Tourism Commission to administer dollar-for-dollar matching grants in FY2015-16 (July 1, 2015-June 30, 2016) to provide marketing assistance grants to communities, organizations and local tourism promotional groups hosting national or international-caliber events that have the potential to attract a significant percentage of out-of-state visitors and to generate favorable national or international press coverage for Nebraska, increasing exposure through advertising, marketing and promotional efforts.
Applicants requesting funding through the Community Impact Grant program should be focusing on promoting national and international-caliber events and gaining national exposure for the state through marketing efforts of the event. Individual grants will be awarded for an amount no higher than $100,000 and no lower than $15,000. The grant amount awarded must be matched by at least an equal amount by the grant applicant. The minimum required match must be cash; in-kind services are not eligible. The deadline for applications is September 25, 2015.
