Tourism Council Special Event/Project Fund

SPECIAL EVENT/PROJECT FUND

According to an ordinance passed by the Town of Carbondale in 2003, funds from the 2% lodging tax are to be used primarily for the promotion, development, and marketing of tourism in Carbondale. Special Event/Project Funds (SEF) from the lodging tax are intended to help support and “grow” local events and projects by attracting visitors to Carbondale both from throughout the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond.

The Tourism Council of Carbondale (TCC) will review each application, and monies will be awarded according to the following criteria:

• the event/project will help to promote off-season tourism in Carbondale
  
  
• the event/project will contribute to Carbondale’s long-range potential to attract visitors
  
  
• funding will make a measurable difference in the success of the event/project
  
  
• the event/project will reinforce Carbondale ’s western quaintness, character, and small mountain-town atmosphere
  
  
• the event/project has broad media appeal
  
  
• the event/project has adequate financial support and outside sponsorships which  
          are being and/or have been obtained to help sustain the event /project
