The Virginia Tourism Corporation (VTC) aims to support the Virginia travel industry through funding programs. These initiatives are designed to enhance tourism development and contribute to the economic prosperity of Virginia’s communities.
The Virginia DMO Marketing Grant is designed to help Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) in Virginia boost their marketing efforts. This grant provides funding to complement existing marketing budgets, particularly focusing on programs that encourage overnight stays and generate significant economic impact. The maximum award is $20,000, with no need for a cash match but requiring a 50% in-kind marketing match. This match must represent at least 50% of the requested funding amount, with applicants encouraged to exceed the minimum match requirement.
