    Evaluation Criteria

    The Visit Richfield Board evaluates applications based on:

  • Is the project unique to Richfield?

  • How will it help bring non-Richfield residents to Richfield?

  • What is new/different about the project in terms of bringing people to Richfield?

  • How much difference will a grant from Visit Richfield make?

  • Does the project represent a partnership between two or more Richfield organizations and/or businesses?

  • Does the application identify an important new or emerging opportunity in the community?

  • Will Visit Richfield's support help grow the idea/activity into something of greater benefit?

  • For recurring events: Will support be needed every year, or is the event sustainable on its own?

    • Grant Distribution Schedule

    Grants are distributed quarterly. The Visit Richfield board reserves the right to limit expenditures in any individual grant period and on a yearly basis. The total amount disbursed may be impacted by Visit Richfield budgetary decisions.
