DAVIESS COUNTY — The Daviess County Visitors Bureau is putting out a call to local innovators and community leaders. In an effort to put the county on the map for regional travelers, the Bureau has officially launched a new series of grant programs designed to fund projects that highlight the area’s unique charm.
The grants are specifically tailored for nonprofits and community organizations that are working to draw visitors to the region. Whether it’s a long-standing local festival or a brand-new marketing initiative, the Bureau is looking to invest in projects that showcase Daviess County’s distinct character and attractions.
The program focuses on three primary pillars of tourism development:
- Event Promotion: Funding for festivals, fairs, and community gatherings that attract out-of-town guests.
- Marketing Campaigns: Support for digital, print, or broadcast efforts that highlight local landmarks and businesses.
- Quality-of-Place Improvements: Enhancing the physical appeal of local sites to create a more welcoming environment for tourists.
Organizations interested in applying should keep the following timeline in mind to ensure they don’t miss out on the current funding cycle:
| Milestone | Date |
| Application Deadline | April 1, 2026 |
| Review Period | April 2 – April 29, 2026 |
| Recipient Notification | April 30, 2026 |
Applications are currently available online. Interested parties can find full eligibility requirements and submission details by visiting the official tourism website at VisitDaviessCounty.com.
By investing in these grassroots projects, the Visitors Bureau aims to stimulate the local economy and build a stronger narrative for Daviess County as a “must-visit” destination in Southern Indiana.
