Newspaper Page TextFriday, March 13, 2020 | Seaside Signal | SeasideSignal.com • A5 Are you eligible for a tourism grant? G rants are like your morning coffee. Wisely timed, they can provide a much-needed kick of energy and focus for a project you want to develop. Then — like an afternoon cup — they can stave off a midstride slump by helping to attract match- ing funds as your project’s needs and details come into better focus. I’ve got grants on the mind. Why? Well, I’m try- ing to help the city strategi- cally give away $50,000 in grant funding aimed at tour- ism development in Seaside, speciﬁ cally those ideas that fall in the offseason and that have a strong potential to generate overnight stays. Some of this money will no doubt go to our essential annual ﬁ reworks program run by the Seaside Cham- ber of Commerce, but that DIRECTOR’S CHAIR JOSHUA HEINEMAN leaves $25,000 available (up to $5,000 per individual application) for funding pro- posed projects, programs, and events in Seaside during the second half of 2020 and all of 2021, which just so happens to be the Prom’s 100th birthday. Last year we funded development of the Klootchy Creek mountain bike trail system, the Lewis and Clark Salt Makers reen- actment, Halloween Hap- penin’s in downtown Sea- side, the Oregon Coast Classic jump rope tourna- ment, and the Sunset Empire Park and Recreation Dis- trict’s pickleball tournament. We even funded an explor- atory committee to look at bringing a jazz festival back to Seaside, although the effort was ultimately unsuc- cessful and the grant money returned. Grants are an important tool for building opportu- nities and attractions. I see that clearly in my work at the visitors bureau. Last fall we were awarded $14,590 in an extremely competi- tive grant process through Travel Oregon to produce a commemorative book- let for the Seaside Prome- nade’s upcoming centennial. Last month, Clatsop County funded our application for $25,020 to produce a series of short-form videos related to the marketing collabora- tive between Astoria, Sea- side, and Cannon Beach. Bed taxes are responsi- ble for driving the overall machinations of our exten- sive marketing program for Seaside as a destina- tion. However, grants allow us to explore speciﬁ c, tacti- cal ideas that maybe aren’t directly germane to our core responsibilities as a destina- tion marketing organization or fall outside the scope of our annual budget. And here’s why I’m writ- ing this all out. This town is full of some of the most hardworking, most selﬂ ess, most intelligent people I’ve had the pleasure of work- ing with in my professional career. From the businesses of the Seaside Downtown Development Associa- tion to the chamber of com- merce to the Sunset Empire Park and Recreation District and all the volunteers that are the lifeblood of success- ful Seaside events each year. Your ideas and actions are why Seaside has attracted so many visitors over the years and has remained a fam- ily favorite in an age where every town is a “destination” of sorts. It’s written in our history. I encourage each and every one of you to read through the tourism grant information at SeasideOR. com/tourism-grant-pro- gram and consider using this opportunity to collaborate with this incredible com- munity to create that event you’ve always wanted to see, develop that attraction you think is missing, design that program you’ve got bouncing around your head. So long as you can clearly make the case that your grant application will bring overnight visitors, there’s a good chance the Tourism Advisory Committee will support you. The grant application deadline is Friday, May 8. Got a comment or ques- tion? I’d love to hear from you. Write me at jheine- man@cityofseaside.us.
