Experience Grand Rapids is the official Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) for Grand Rapids/Kent County. We are the only community resource devoted to marketing the destination brand by raising visitor awareness of the region’s product – i.e., its appeal as a tourism and convention destination. Our efforts produce millions of dollars in direct and indirect revenues and taxes that uplift the local community and economy.
The mission of Experience Grand Rapids is to create an exceptional community by sharing Grand Rapids with the world. What does that really mean? It means that we inspire tourism and conventions through short-term promotions, long-term marketing and sales strategies, and a focus on community developments that will impact the visitor experience.
Experience Grand Rapids is proud to be an active member in our community and does offer limited donation and sponsorship opportunities for programs and events that are in alignment with our mission, strategic priorities, and brand objectives. Experience Grand Rapids’ Sponsorship Committee reviews all donation and sponsorship requests on a monthly basis. For our Committee to respond in a timely manner, we require all requests are submitted 8 weeks in advance of the desired date. First-time requestors are recommended to submit 12+ weeks in advance of the desired date.
Experience Grand Rapids reserves the right to approve/deny requests based on the criteria above, but in general we do not support:
If your request meets the above criteria, please complete the following online form for consideration. Please note that requests submitted within 8 weeks of the event may automatically be denied. As a not for profit 501c(6) organization, our donation and sponsorship resources are limited. Due to the number of requests and limited availability of funds, a request may be denied even if it meets the selection criteria.
