Clearfield, PA – Visit Clearfield County is currently accepting applications for their promotion matching grant.
The Clearfield County Commissioners have graciously provided non taxpayer funds to Visit Clearfield County to not only support the Clearfield County Fair and the Harmony Grange Fair through the appropriation fund, but to also help Visit Clearfield County offer a quick promotional grant round to help the tourism related businesses within Clearfield County.
Visit Clearfield County Board Chairman, Susan Williams, had this to say, “The Visit Clearfield County board of directors is very pleased to be able to assist the Clearfield County Fair and the Harmony Grange Fair and to provide a grant round for 2021. This was a goal we had at the beginning of the year and a great deal of coordination came together to make it possible. Thank you to the Commissioners for partnering with Visit Clearfield County to make this happen.”
Twenty thousand dollars is available for tourism promotion. In accordance with state guidelines, portions of collected Clearfield County Hotel Tax revenues are allocated each year to support the
county’s tourism assets. Awards are granted on the basis of merit to qualified applicants as determined by the Visit Clearfield County Board of Directors.
Clearfield County Tourism Promotion (CCTP) grants are made on a cost reimbursement basis following a process of application, review, approval and completion. Receipt of the CCTP award is contingent upon submittal of receipts from bona fide trade’s people. The applicant must submit documentation for the total and final cost of the project. All the marketing dollars must be spent or accounted for and the close out report must be completed by December 15, 2021, or the grant being awarded will be forfeited.
