Funding

Discover West provides funding to support initiatives that promote tourism, community pride, and local engagement. This may include projects that enhance visitor experiences, improve public amenities, or showcase cultural and recreational assets unique to the community.

From festivals to fundraisers, events bring people together and generate tourism activity. Discover West offers sponsorship for locally organized events that attract visitors, encourage overnight stays, and contribute to the community’s economic and social vitality.

We help amplify local marketing efforts that inspire travel to participating communities. Funding may be available to support advertising and promotional initiatives that align with Discover West’s mission to highlight local attractions, events, or tourism experiences.

Discover West provides funding to help locally organized events grow, attract new audiences, and create memorable experiences that reflect each community’s character and hospitality.

We support initiatives that enhance or promote visitor experiences, from outdoor adventures to cultural attractions. These programs help guests discover more reasons to stay, explore, and connect with local businesses.

Sports tourism is a powerful driver of local economies. We fund tournaments and competitions that draw participants and spectators from outside the community, filling hotels and supporting local businesses.

Our hotel partners are at the heart of Discover West. We work with them to strengthen connections between lodging, local experiences, and events—ensuring guests enjoy their stay and communities benefit from increased visitation.
