RCCVB Accepting GAP Funding Applications

Presented by McDonald’s, I’m Lovin’ It!

The Ross-Chillicothe Convention & Visitors Bureau is accepting applications for its annual Grant Assistance Program (GAP).

The purpose of the program is to provide GAP funding to organizations, attractions, and events in the Chillicothe and Ross County area for promotion of an upcoming event or program. Through the GAP program, the Bureau can participate in the community by aiding eligible candidates and to provide an avenue for the organizers of events to promote their activity. Its goal of this program is to increase overnight stays in Ross County, promote a positive image, and increase visibility of Ross County’s attractions to generate awareness and additional tourism visitation.

The GAP program is open to both non-profit and profit organizations with the emphasis on increasing tourism. Funding may be used for marketing / advertising expenses, qualifying entertainment fees, and printing or distribution of brochures that reach beyond a 100-mile radius of Chillicothe and Ross County. Applications must be submitted by April 15, 2022 to be considered in this year’s program. Additionally, the Bureau has maintained the program’s budget and has allotted $20,000 to be awarded through the Grant Assistance Program.
