Tourism Business Improvement District Meeting/Event Grant Fund

Are you planning a new meeting or event in Missoula or trying to expand an already successful event but need a little help with funding? Destination Missoula and the Missoula Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) have a sports and events grant fund, and you could qualify!

The purpose of the Missoula TBID Event Grant Fund is to provide funding to new and/or growing events, preferably in non-peak months (October-April) that will provide economic benefit through increased hotel room nights and other spending within the Missoula Community. Since its inception in 2010, the Missoula TBID Grant Fund has awarded money to 65 events resulting in an economic impact of over $28 million to our community.

Applications for the Missoula TBID Grant Fund are accepted twice a year, the deadlines are March 1st and September 1st.

To help encourage applicants, the Missoula TBID created an informational TBID Grant video available at this website: https://destinationmissoula.org/tbid-video. All viewers who apply for a Missoula TBID Grant will receive an extra five points towards their grant application scores.
