Agenda 09/26/2023 Item #11B (Tourist Development Tax Grant Agreements for FY 2023-2024)09/26/2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to provide insight and historical perspective to the Board relating to Arts and Cultural
Grants program and make a recommendation for the Board to approve and authorize the Chairman to
execute Tourist Development Tax Grant Agreements for FY 2023-2024 Marketing Grants (Category B)
($74,648) and Non-County Owned/Operated Museums (Category C-2) ($750,000), approve grant award of
funds in the amount of $824,648 for both programs contingent upon FY 2024 budget availability, and
make a finding that these expenditures promote tourism.
OBJECTIVE: To provide insight and historic background associated with the Marketing (Category B) and Non-
County Owned / Operated Museum (Category C-2) Grants, to seek Board approval for the grant agreements and
recommended grant awards for Tourist Development Tax (TDT) Marketing and Non-County Museum Grant
applicants for FY 2023-2024.
CONSIDERATIONS: Funding of these grant program awards is subject to approval by the Board of County
Commissioners. The Board has the discretion to determine whether to fund these grants. If the Board wishes to
amend the TDT budget to redirect the subject funds for other TDT statutorily authorized uses, staff will need to be
directed to advertise and bring back an amendment to the TDT Ordinance.
The Tourism Development Tax Grant program, established in 2002 at the direction and approval of the Board of
County Commissioners, is authorized by Florida Statute Sec. 125.0104(5)(a)1.c and Sec. 125.0104(5)(a)3 and
includes Category “C-2” Non-County Owned and Operated Museums and Category “B" Marketing Grants.
Category C-2 Grants are designed to provide financial support for the creation, execution and marketing of arts
and cultural shows & exhibits while Category B Grants are de signed to provide financial support relating to the
marketing communications related to artistic ventures targeting individuals residing outside of Collier County.
The intent of both programs is to drive overnight visitation to the destination.
Since 2003, an annual budget of $650,000 for Category C-2 and $100,000 for Category B grants has been
established to support the development of arts and culture across the region.
During 2021, the Board directed Tourism to develop a year -long program that would generate collaboration and
alignment among the Arts and Cultural organizations. In an effort to jumpstart the inaugural year -long Arte-Viva
Hispanic festival, the Board approved an increase in FY’23 of the Category C -2 budget by $200,000 to a budget
level of $850,000. The current proposed FY’24 funding represents a reduction of $100,000 from current levels.
An overview of the recommendation to award FY’24 Grants is provided within the attached documents as well as
the complete agreement by each organization. The overview represents a total of 3 Category B grants totaling
$74,648 supporting the out-of-region marketing of cultural shows and events as well as 10 Category C -2 grants
totaling $750,000 supporting the creation, execution and marketing of arts and cul tural shows & exhibits.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for the marketing grants in the amount of $74,648 (Fund 184) and for the
Non-County Museums of $750,000 (Fund 193) is included in the proposed FY 2024 Tourism Division's budget,
contingent upon the approval of the FY 2024 budget and budget availability.
ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION : This item was approved unanimously by the Tourist
Development Council on June 19, 2023, with a vote of 7-0.
LEGAL CONSIDERATION: This item is approved as to form and legalit y and requires majority vote for
approval. - CMG

Overview of Recommended Funding
Category “B” Marketing Grants are available to any eligible organization producing an event, festival, or
activity that is cultural in nature. Funding for these grants is only for marketing activities. Category “C-
2” Non-County Museum Grants are open to eligible nonprofit organizations that are deemed a museum and
provide funding to arts and cultural organizations for production support, exhibition support, and
marketing activities. In both categories, the primary purpose of the funds is to help drive tourists to our
destination and to provide opportunities for visitors to enjoy unique arts and cultural experiences in our
county. Funding is contingent on budget availability and subject to appropriation by the Board.
Reimbursable visitor marketing activities for both grants include for example local campaigns that target
tourists (such as a magazine produced by a hotel that is only available in the rooms) and out -of-region
marketing. The region is defined as a 50-mile radius from the event site. Per the Grant Agreement, media
that includes Collier County as part of a regional package can be included. Reimbursement of any
campaigns will be reimbursed up to the percentage distribution outside and based on documentation
provided by the grantee organization.
Tourism Grant Applications were made available on our County Tourism website in an online system on
January 21, 2023 and were due on March 24, 2023. Thirteen applications were received. In accordance
with the Grant Guidelines, the applications were reviewed by Tourism Division staff and verified that all
applications met the Grant Guidelines.
Staff analyzed the grant applications in the Oxford Economics Event Impact Calculator for Festival and
Cultural Events to determine economic indicators. This industry-standard calculator is utilized by over 300
destination organizations worldwide and is the global standard for measuring net new money coming to a
community because of meetings and events. It is updated annually, the calculator draws on ten different
data sources, including Oxford Economics’ survey data, Longwood International’s ongoing survey of U.S.
travel behavior, Convention Industry Council’s study on Economic Significance, and primary studies on
events and SMG Convention Center activities to provide an industry-wide standard.
The Tourism Division also analyzed the application for economic indicators with the Oxford Economics
Event Impact Calculator for Festival and Cultural Events. For arts and cultural activity economic indicators,
inputs include the dates of the event; the event type (Festival and Cultural Events); and detailed event
information that includes performing arts (concerts, theater, and dance), visual arts (crafts, sculptures,
painting), film and award ceremonies, food and drink, or other cultural (commemorations, religious, special
interests, parades). The number of adult attendees is entered along with a geographic reach that is primarily
local attendees, balanced attendees, and primarily out-of-town visitors. The percentage of out-of-town
visitors is also entered. A room rate is researched from the formerly known Smith Travel Report (now the
company is named STR) for the event date chosen. If possible, the room rate used was from 2019 to avoid
any type of data anomaly of room rates over the past two years. The model then determines the overnight
share of out-of-town visitors as it varies depending on the percent of out-of-town share and the detailed
event type. It also determines the overnight visitors and the Tourism Tax Revenue (Bed Tax) from our tax
11.B.p
Packet Pg. 340 Attachment: Overview of FY'24 Recommended Funding (26510 : TDT Grant Agreements for FY2023-2024)
rate table in the model. These two figures are the economic indicators in the grant descriptions below.
A panel of eight (8) County employees reviewed the grant applications. These individuals are involved in
marketing, arts and culture, finance, and tourism. They scored the applications based on artistic
value/cultural impact, tourism impact, marketing plan, economic impact, and other general impact. Scores
and award recommendations were averaged, and a meeting was held to determine final recommendations.
The County Attorney's Office reviewed the applications for legal sufficiency.
Final grant reports now include questions and analysis on attendee surveys and results, attendance figures
and location of attendees, and marketing campaigns and results. Tourism staff will also analyze the actual
attendance through the Event Impact Calculator to determine estimates against the actual results.
As the grant program moves forward, it is anticipated that tourism staff will assist the organizations during
the grant term. This assistance will include additional workshops, discussions of best practices, and
assistance with preparing financial reports and final reports. Staff is available to review marketing
campaigns and answer questions as to the validity of marketing campaign meeting grant requirements prior
to a financial submission by the organization. Financial submissions are now reviewed by to urism staff
before it is sent to a finance team member for an additional review. This will ensure the grant is being
utilized to its best ability.
The Tourism Development Council (TDC) reviewed the applications on June 19, 2023 and recommended
that the Board of County Commissioners approves the grant funding and related grant agreements as
follows:
