Tourism Destination Development Grant Program (DDG)
Grant window for FY2025-2026 applications opens March 9, 2026
This grant program provides financial support for small-scale projects and programming that enhance the visitor experience, improve tourism assets, and strengthen Flagler County’s position as a premier destination. The program focuses on new programs or the expansion of existing projects and programming that increase tourism in Flagler County. While residents may benefit from the project, the main purpose must be to attract tourists. The DDG aligns with the Tourism Development Council Strategic Plan objective to Strengthen the County’s Arts & Culture Offerings and supports the Flagler County Strategic Plan goal of diversifying and enhancing the tax base to improve the local economy. The number and extent of these grants will depend upon the availability of designated funds and specific allocations.
Eligibility requirements:
- Nonprofit organizations based in Flagler County with at least one year of established programming.
- Projects must focus on tourism and demonstrate the ability to attract visitors.
- Funding requests may range from $2,500 to $10,000 and require a 1:1 cash match.
- Funding is awarded on a reimbursement basis upon project completion. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to cover project costs up front.
