The City of Redmond will accept applications for its 2010 Tourism Fund Matching Grants through 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13. Applicants may be cultural, historical, educational or community organizations.

The grants help fund projects that stimulate tourism in Redmond and are paid for by a portion of the one percent sales tax on Redmond’s hotel and motel rooms. Grants may not exceed 50 percent of the cost of the project.

The Redmond Lodging Tax Advisory Committee evaluates qualifying applications on a competitive basis, using the official tourism promotion funding criteria. The committee then forwards the recommendations to the Mayor and City Council for review and approval. City Council will award the grants in early 2010.

For more information, call (425) 556-2444 or e-mail knolz@redmond.gov.

Applications are available through the City of Redmond’s Web site, www.redmond.gov on the home page under “What’s New.”
