New grant to help fund community events

The Huntington County Visitor Bureau is teaming up with the Huntington County Community Foundation to offer the What Would YOU Do? Place-Making Grant. Amounts of up to $1,000 will be awarded to individuals or groups who have an awesome idea for a new community event or activity but maybe don’t have the funds to get it started.

 The application process is simple with no formal forms to complete. There are no deadlines for the grant, however, it is first-come, first-served. The best ideas will be awarded funds.

Individuals or organizations who have an idea for an event or a fun activity that will benefit the community are encouraged to apply for the grant by sending an e-mail with details on the proposed event and how the funds will be used to either director@visithuntington.org or matt@huntingtonccf.org. Funds may not directly benefit the individual or group.

Additional information on the What Would YOU Do? grant is available here. Questions can be directed to Tina Disch, executive director, Huntington County Visitor Bureau, 407 N. Jefferson Street, Huntington, IN 46750, or by calling (260) 359-8687.
