Exciting Grant Opportunities Await in Klamath County!
Klamath County is thrilled to announce two fantastic grant opportunities aimed at boosting our community’s economic growth and tourism: the Economic Development and Tourism Grant Programs.
Economic Development Grants
Are you a local business ready to take the next big step? Our Economic Development Grants are designed to help regional businesses with startup or expansion funds. We’re looking for projects that promise job creation, business growth, and a vibrant economic future for Klamath County. If your project has a clear target market and a solid strategy to reach it, we want to hear from you! These grants are funded by the Oregon State Lottery Fund.
Tourism Grants
Got a unique event or project that could attract tourists to Klamath County? Our Tourism Grants are here to help! We’re seeking innovative ideas for events and activities that will draw visitors, especially during the shoulder season from October to May. Infrastructure projects are also highly encouraged. These grants are funded by the countywide transient room tax, administered by the Klamath County Tax Collector.
Key Dates
• Application Cycle: Opens September 3, 2024, and closes at 5:00 PM on Sept. 30, 2024.
• Mandatory Grant Orientation: Sept. 5, 2024, at 9:00 AM at Government Center, 305 Main St. Room 219. Please note: If your organization has received either a Klamath County Tourism Grant or Economic Development Grant in the last 18 months, attendance at the orientation meeting is not required.
Applications for both programs will be available online at Klamath County Grant Programs.
Grant applications will be reviewed by advisory panels appointed by the Board of County Commissioners, who will then make the final decision on awarding funds.
