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 grant from the Tourism Promotion Fund is designed to provide financial support either as seed money for new events or marketing funds for established ones, with the primary goal of boosting economic activity in Bellingham by attracting tourists. The Start-Up Grant aspect of the program focuses on events or activities that are in their first three years, offering funding that goes beyond marketing to cover eligible operating expenses such as venue and equipment rentals, a portion of rent, and the purchase of goods/supplies with prior approval. This funding initiative encourages wide participation and innovation in promoting tourism and cultural activities that lead to overnight stays in the city.
