The mission of the Indiana Destination Development Corporation (IDDC, Indiana Tourism) is to promote tourism and development within Indiana. It aims to support projects that enhance, expand, and promote the visitor industry to develop and improve local economies and communities throughout Indiana.
The Sports Tourism Business Development Grants are designed to assist tourism or sports-related organizations in Indiana. The primary goal of these grants is to support and enhance athletic events within the state, with an aim to attract high-quality sporting events that can generate a significant economic impact through participant spending. This grant program encourages applications from entities involved in promoting sports tourism and emphasizes the importance of these events in community development and economic growth. Applications are considered on a rolling basis, and the grant operates on a reimbursement model, requiring a Post-Event Report for expense validation.
