Grant Requests

The Albany County Tourism Board promotes travel and tourism to Albany County with national advertising funded by a local lodging tax option. In line with that goal, our marketing grant program provides dollars to assist community organizations that host events generating overnight stays in Albany County lodging facilities. As the goal is to bring in outside visitation, at least 50% of all marketing grant funds awarded must be spent on outside-county marketing.
