Need funding to promote a local event or complete a local project? This week is the last week to apply for the Santa Rosa County Tourist Development Office (TDO) local event marketing grant and sponsorships program, as well as the Tax Capital Project Funding program. 

The grant, sponsorship, and Tax Capital Project Funding applications and instructions are available online. Applications must be received by Wed., Mar. 1 and can be mailed or hand-delivered to:

Santa Rosa County Tourist Development Office

8543 Navarre Parkway

Navarre, FL 32566

The goal of the TDO's local event marketing grant program and sponsorships is to increase out-of-market awareness of the county's tourism brand "Navarre Beach, Florida's Most Relaxing Place" as a tourist destination and to drive lodging room occupancy by funding the marketing and promotional efforts of the county's tourism events.

The TDO's Tax Capital Project Funding program provides grants for new construction, expansions and renovations that enhance and increase tourism visitation in Santa Rosa County. This program is open to Santa Rosa County, municipalities with the county, 501(c)(3)s and organizations with direct impact on tourism.
