City of Renton Accepting Applications for 2020 Tourism Promotion Grants

Deadline for applications is 5 p.m. on Friday, October 25, 2019

RENTON, WA - The City of Renton is now accepting applications for 2020 tourism promotion grants. These grants are available to convention and visitors’ bureaus, destination marketing organizations, non-profits such as chambers of commerce and lodging associations and municipalities to support tourism marketing and operations in Renton.

Hotels, motels, private campgrounds and similar facilities collect an added sales tax from their customers, a portion of which is collected by the City of Renton. The Renton City Council has appointed a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) and tasked it with distributing these funds. Members of this committee include representatives of the City of Renton, Renton Chamber of Commerce, Renton Municipal Arts Commission and local hotels. The committee is chaired by Renton City Councilmember Armondo Pavone.

Applications from qualifying entities will be due by 5 p.m. on Friday, October 25, 2019. Applications will be reviewed and finalists will be invited to present their requests to the LTAC in early November. The committee will make its final recommendations for funding to the Renton City Council by the end of this year.

The application and related materials are online at or by contacting Cliff Long, Economic Development Director for the City of Renton, at 425-430-6591.
