OBJECTIVE: To seek Florida Sports Foundation grant funds to offset a portion of the existing
operation expenses to host the 2018 Football University (FBU) National Championships in Collier
County.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Florida Sports Foundation, (Foundation), Grant Programs are designed to
assist communities and host organizations in attracting sports events, which will generate significant out -
of-state economic impact for the state of Florida. The Foundation’s Board of Directors awards grants on a
quarterly basis, and places emphasis on out-of-state economic impact, return on investment, community
support and image value to the state. Events that will be considered for grant funding include amateur
events, collegiate events, professional all-star games and championships, or other categories approved by
the Foundation’s Board of Directors. Grant applications for the current cycle are due October 10, 2018.
The Tourism/Sports Marketing Division working with our County Grants Division has prepared an
application for the event to offset a portion of the existing operation expenses to host the 2018 Football
University (FBU) National Championships in Collier County. Due to the timing between the notification
of award and the event, there is not sufficient time to take a separate board action to accept the award.
Accordingly, this action allows the process to be expedited should the funding request be awarded.
The FBU National Championships have been hosted in Collier County for four consecutive years. This is
a National Championship Football event showcasing the best sixth through ninth grade football teams and
stars from around the nation. The championship games have been showcased on both broadcast and
digital live streaming each year, bringing great national awareness of our community’s sports capabilities.
The FBU Championships will take place December 15-20, 2018 prior to the busy Christmas to New
Year’s holiday period.
FISCAL IMPACT: If approved, the additional grant funds will assist in decreasing the total event
operating cost by up to $25,000. A budget amendment is necessary within County Manager Grant Fund
(713) for $25,000.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated with this
Executive Summary.
ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION: The Tourist Development Council recommended
approval of this item 8-0 at the September 24, 2018 meeting.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for approval. - CMG
