The City of Bellingham's mission focuses on enhancing the availability of housing or shelter for low-income residents. Their goal is to streamline the process for project proponents by facilitating connections to partners and funding opportunities, aiming for a coordinated approach to housing production or preservation within the community.
The Tourism Promotion Fund offers grants to provide seed money for new events or marketing funds for ongoing events with the goal of increasing economic activity in Bellingham by attracting tourists. The Standard Grant, designed for events or activities running for more than three years, covers eligible operational expenses such as venue and equipment rentals, a portion of rent, and the purchase of goods/supplies with approval. For 2024, there is no cap on operational expenses, though all must be pre-approved and documented within the contractual period.
