News Release
City of Vancouver seeks applicants for lodging tax grants - 05/30/23

Vancouver, Wash. – Do you have an event or project designed to bring visitors to Vancouver? Your nonprofit may be eligible for grant funding provided by Lodging Tax. Lodging Tax grants are for projects or events that will increase overnight and day-visit tourism. Applications are now available on the City’s website.  

Lodging Tax grants are available to non-profit and tourism organizations with projects, events or activities that increase visits to the city or help increase tourism-related revenues for future events that will occur after January 1, 2024. The grants are funded through a four percent lodging tax on hotel, motel and bed and breakfast stays.  The minimum application amount is $5,000. 

An optional grant overview and orientation meeting for those interested in applying will occur at 4 p.m. June 7 at City Hall (415 West 6th Street). The meeting will also be hosted online for those who wish to attend virtually. A recording of the meeting will be posted on the City’s website. The orientation meeting will include training on Foundant Technologies, the City’s grant application software.

The deadline to apply is 3 p.m. Friday, July 28.
