The FY 2008 Cooperative Marketing General Grant Program is open to any organization that can demonstrate a significant interest in the New Jersey tourism industry. Organizations must show a match of .25/1.00 from Non-State funding sources.

Funding will be provided to promote and market specific tourism opportunities in New Jersey. Proposals for this program will be reviewed in the order in which they are received and awarded based on merit.

Destination Marketing Organization Cooperative Marketing Grant

The DMO Cooperative Marketing Grant is a competitive program designed to empower organizations to drive visitation. The approval process considers all aspects of a DMO's viability as an organization. Although its emphasis has shifted, the technical requirements of the grant are similar to previous grant programs administered by the Division of Travel & Tourism. The 2008 DMO Cooperative Marketing Grant Program seeks to offer funding, which will add significantly to the stability and long-term viability of funded DMOs.
