(Chillicothe) – The Ross-Chillicothe Convention & Visitors Bureau is announcing that it is accepting applications for its annual Promotional Grant Assistance Program (GAP). The purpose of this 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 this 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. The 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.

This program is open to both non-profit and profit organizations with the emphasis on increasing tourism. Funding may be used for marketing and advertising expenses and printing or distribution of brochures that reach beyond a 100-mile radius of Chillicothe and Ross County. Applications must be received no later than 3pm on March 15, 2024, to be considered for funding in this year’s program. The Bureau has maintained the program’s budget year-over-year and has allocated $20,000 to be awarded through the Promotional Grant Assistance Program.
