Grants and Seaside Branding

Grant Programs

These are the grant programs administered by the City of Seaside Visitors Bureau.

Annual Tourism Grant Program. The City of Seaside Visitors Bureau invites tourism-project funding requests from businesses and organizations that produce events designed to increase overnight visits to the area or develop programs targeted to visitors especially in the shoulder and winter months. For the 2023-2024 fiscal year, it is expected that a total of $25,000 will be awarded for tourism development in Seaside. These funds are generated from transient room taxes (TRT) collected from overnight lodging facilities in Seaside.

2020 Tourism Relief Program. The City of Seaside approved up to $250,000 in emergency grant funding in order to help local businesses overcome the temporary loss of revenue associated with COVID-19 travel restrictions. Small businesses and nonprofits that comprise the thriving tourism industry in Seaside could apply for up to $4,000 each in grants. Emergency grants were used to keep employees on payroll, pay for sick leave, or pay business obligations, including debts, rent and mortgage payments.
