Promotional Grant Assistance Program

The purpose of the RCCVB Grant Assistance Program is to provide cooperative funding to non-profit/profit organizations, attractions, and individual events in the Chillicothe and Ross County area for promotion of an event or program. Promotions will allow the Bureau to participate in the community by providing assistance to eligible candidates and provide an avenue for the organizers of the events to promote the activity thus increasing awareness and the potential for tourism visitation.

The Ross-Chillicothe Convention & Visitors Bureau offers the Promotional Grant Assistance Program (GAP) once per year.
