Sustainable Tourism Grant

Applications will be accepted April 1 - May 1.

[APPLICATION LINK WILL APPEAR HERE ON APRIL 1]

The Sustainable Tourism Grant was developed to fund programs, initiatives, promotions, and events that help support the objectives outlined in the Park City & Summit County Sustainable Tourism Plan. Applicants may request an award of up to $20,000 to partially or fully fund eligible Sustainable Tourism projects.

This grant program will help support diverse projects across the tourism economy, however some restrictions apply:

• Project must be located in Summit County, UT
• Applications must identify how their projects ‘establish and/or promote’ tourism in Summit County.
• Government/public organizations are eligible only in collaboration with other non-profit and private sector organizations
• Funds cannot be used to support employee salaries, but may be used to hire consultants providing outside expertise (e.g., consultant to evaluate event waste management practices)
• To be eligible to receive grant funds, applicants must be a member of the Park City Chamber of Commerce in good standing as of May 2, 2026.

Note for event organizers: We offer ‘Destination Driver’ sponsorships to support special events throughout Summit County with general funding. Please reach out to Becca Gerber (beccagerber@visitparkcity.com) to determine if you qualify. If you’d like to receive additional funding from the Sustainable Tourism Grant, grant awards will only be considered for expanding specific sustainability initiatives.
