FRAMINGHAM – The MetroWest Visitors Bureau announced today, January 31, its annual mini grant program is now accepting applications.

Designed for marketing projects that will promote tourism in MetroWest, mini grants are available
for funds up to $5,000 each.

The Bureau will consider applications for projects devoted to marketing a MetroWest event, attraction, business, service, or cultural or recreational offering. The applicant does not need to be a 501(c)3 charitable organization, but must be based in one of the 19 towns that comprise MetroWest or be devoted to attracting potential visitors to those 19 towns.

Eligible projects include brochures, print or online advertising, social media, websites, apps, and other print materials. The marketing project must be targeted, at least partially, at potential visitors who live more than 50 miles from the event or business location.

Grant applications can be submitted at www.bit.ly/minigrant2022 and will be
reviewed on a rolling basis from now until April 1.

Awarded grant funds must be spent prior to June 30, 2022.

For questions, or to discuss your project idea prior to submitting an application, please contact MWVB Executive Director Erin Lynch at erin@metrowestvisitors.org.
