Two opportunities are described: (1) Sports Grants — the Greater Burlington Sports Commission partners with local non-professional sporting-event organizations to apply for an Iowa Tourism Office sports grant (the state awards $50,000 to ten Iowa Sports Commissions; selected partners contribute a 50% cash match; events must draw tourists from 80+ miles away); and (2) the Destination Greater Burlington Grant for projects and events that significantly promote Greater Burlington as a tourism destination or enhance the tourism experience.
