The Meridian/Lauderdale County Tourism Bureau reminds non-profit organizations sponsoring or hosting events that they may be eligible for grants to help pay for advertising.
A local tourism bureau grant committee will evaluate events based on the number of overnight visitors they bring to the area. Grants are also available to organizations maintaining a tourist attraction in Meridian or Lauderdale County.
The matching grant program offers funds for projects including advertising, or printing of brochures and posters that will be distributed and displayed 100 miles outside of Meridian.
Applications are available at Meridian/Lauderdale County Tourism Bureau, 212 Constitution Ave., or by calling (601) 482-8001.
The application deadline is April 15.
