Applications open for HMATA community tourism sponsorships

From HMATA

The Huntsville Municipal Accommodation Tax Association (HMATA) annual intake period for community tourism sponsorships is now open.

What are community tourism sponsorships?

If you’re planning a tourism-related event or project between October 1, 2024, and May 31, 2025, this funding may be for you! Made possible by the Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT)—paid by visitors at local hotels, motels, resorts, and short-term rental accommodations—community tourism sponsorships help grow Huntsville’s tourism industry by supporting initiatives by local organizations or that benefit the Huntsville tourism economy.

Who can apply?

Both non-profits and private businesses in the Town of Huntsville can apply for support for events or projects within Huntsville. Organizations from outside of Huntsville planning events that will have significant economic impact in Huntsville may also apply. Although events happening at any time of year will be considered, those in the shoulder seasons or winter months and mid-week events are preferred. 

How to apply

Visit huntsvillemat.com/community-tourism-sponsorships for full details and to submit an application before June 30, 2024.
