Partnerships & Sponsorships

Thank you for your interest in applying for community partnership support (nonprofit, community events) or event sponsorship (economic development).

We have currently allocated all of our partnership and sponsorship funding for this fiscal year. In FY 2027 we will be revising the program to ensure alignment with our goals and community needs. Please check back for more information.

Event Sponsorship

Does your event aim to:

  • Cultivate a dynamic and sustainable destination?
  • Drive visitation during shoulder seasons (September through June)?
  • Advance equity, inclusivity, and accessibility in the community?

 

Please ensure the following before submitting an application:

  • Your event is not being held in July or August. (Nonprofit stewardship events benefiting the tourism economy held during this time frame may still apply.)
  • Your event is at least three months from the date you submit your application.
  • You are not eligible to apply to any other Visit Bend grant programs to support this work.
