Grants

The Sponsorship Grant was created to help grow community-friendly events that take place within the Shores & Islands Ohio destination. The intent is to assist businesses and organizations to grow quality events that create media exposure, increase area economic impact, generate awareness that Shores & Islands Ohio as a year-round destination, and possibly generate over night stays. An example would be a one-day community festival with little to no overnight stays.
