The Admissions Tax Grant is now open for the fall/winter of 2022-23.
The primary intent of the Admissions Tax Grant is to attract new visitors to Mt. Crested Butte with a measurable return on investment and to increase sales tax revenue for the town while supporting local non-profits and businesses. The town desires to attract new people, as well as encourage repeat visitation to stimulate creativity to develop new events.
Additional consideration will be given to applicants who are creating new events; events or marketing that target new markets, groups, and activities; groups or organizations that demonstrate a financial need for the funds; and applicants that have an environmental sustainability component. Applicants may use funds for operational external costs but cannot be used to pay internal staff costs or purchase of equipment related to the event.
All events and programs must occur within the town limits of Mt. Crested Butte at some point during the event. To learn more about the Admissions Tax Grant and the application process, please visit the Admissions Tax Grant webpage.
The deadline to apply is Monday, September 26 by 8 am MDT. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Admissions Tax point of contact, Marisa Maudsley before submitting their application with questions about the application process. She can be reached at mmaudsley@mtcb.colorado.gov.
