Fruita Entertainment/Marketing Mini-Grant Application

  • Fruita Entertainment/Marketing Mini-Grant Application

    Fruita Tourism Advisory Council

  • Each year, the Fruita Tourism Advisory Council (hereinafter “FTAC”) is excited for the opportunity to partner with individuals, organizations, and businesses to promote new and unique events and opportunities in Fruita. These events will provide City of Fruita residents with a place to enjoy entertainment and fun throughout the year. For example, in previous years, FTAC has helped fund several downtown events and block parties with the mini-grant. And annually, FTAC provides funding for events such as the Fruita Fat Tire Festival, the Fruita Farmer’s Market, and the Colorado Riverfront Concert Series, to name a few. Although historically the mini-grant has been used for events, the grant can also be used for marketing or other projects that would provide an economic benefit to local businesses. These grants are funded through revenues for marketing and promotion of the City of Fruita and its environs to tourists, the traveling public and others which will be beneficial to the community. For 2026, the FTAC is looking forward to receiving applications for events or projects.

    Applications for the FTAC Mini-Grant Program are due no later than 5:00 p.m., 60 days before the event.

    If you have questions regarding the FTAC Mini-Grant Program or need any help with filling out this application, please contact Ciara Amann at camann@fruita.org or 970-858-7291.
