Developed in 2015, the Visit Pensacola marketing grant program was established to aid organizations coordinating events or visitor experiences with a demonstrated history of visitor impact or significant potential to draw visitors to the area. The Visit Pensacola marketing grant program’s primary purpose is to aid in marketing events/experiences that will attract visitors overnight while engaging the local community with more experiences. The program has awarded over $1.6 million in marketing dollars to numerous events and organizations within Escambia County.

For anyone seeking funds less than $4,999.99, mini-grants are available year-round. The sole purpose for the mini-grants is to assist in marketing events/experiences.
