A brand new event to 91原创 has just received an infusion of cash.
Organizers of the Fort 91原创 Jazz & Arts Festival, happening for the first time on July 28, has received a new grant from Tourism 91原创.
The organization announced back in February that money is up for grabs for event organizers creating a new festival or fair within the Township in 2018.
Then in March, they unveiled further plans to support other events that enhanced local tourism and promoted overnight visits to the community. Specifically, they chose to also support existing events already going within the Township of 91原创, and at the same time they announced grant money they hoped would help lure other events or attractions to relocate to the Township.
The association has earmarked $200,000 to be used to support new, existing, and relocating events in 91原创, and the jazz fest happens to be the first on the receiving end of some of those funds, said Tourism 91原创鈥檚 Erinn Kredba.
鈥淭he Jazz & Arts Festival approached us with a sponsorship request prior to the release of the program, so we were excited to be able to let them know that these new programs would soon be announced and shared the application with them the day they were released,鈥� Kredba said.
They will receiving $2,500, she added, noting each application will be reviewed and a matrix will help Tourism 91原创 to determine how much money will be given.
