Local Initiatives Tourism
Event Funding
We are excited to announce that Discover Siskiyou is officially re-launching the “Local Initiatives” program! This program is a way for local businesses, tourism groups, and collectives to leverage the dollars invested by Siskiyou lodging properties to drive increased overnight visitation to individual communities throughout Siskiyou.
After a year of postponing events due to COVID-19, Discover Siskiyou is investing $110,150 in our local communities through a competitive application process. Discover Siskiyou Local Initiatives will support local events that drive overnight visitation and will now also provide the opportunity for jurisdictions to provide a 1:1 match for these event investments OR an investment in a digital marketing campaign specific to the awarded jurisdiction with branding, artwork, and implementation provided in-kind by Discover Siskiyou.
