Tourism, Culture and Sport Grant

DEADLINE TO APPLY: Wednesday, March 31, 2021 at 4:30PM

We are pleased to announce that the County of Simcoe Tourism, Culture and Sport grant has been reinstated for 2021. In 2020, the County received 99 applications requesting a total of almost $1.1 million in financial support. However, due to COVID-19, in April 2020, Council voted to suspend the Tourism, Culture and Sport Grant and apply the allocated $300,000 for 2020 to the 2021 envelope, increasing the 2021 budget to $600,000.

The objective of the County of Simcoe Tourism, Culture and Sport Grant Program is to support and enhance Tourism, Culture and Sport in Simcoe County through:

Investing in tourism, culture and sport activities that promote awareness, access, participation and appreciation of the distinct, diverse offerings within the County of Simcoe;
Building organizational capacity in existing and new local organizations;
Encouraging collaborative opportunities and partnerships;
Contributing to the County of Simcoe's overall economic health and sense of place; and
Enhancing participants' experiences by supporting innovative and accessible programming
