Eligible sporting events must take place between Feb. 13, 2025, and Sept. 30, 2025, and are required to comply with Section 125.0104, Florida Statutes with the requirements for the event to be marketed outside the area to generate visitation in order to utilize Tourist Development Tax (TDT) funds.
Here’s more from the release:
Event grant applications are evaluated based on the following:
Event funding requests are evaluated by the anticipated number of hotel room nights/overnight lodging in Leon County generated by the event.
The Sports Event Grant Program is administered by the Leon County Tourist Development Council and designated advisory groups, including the Tallahassee Sports Council. For additional information or to apply online, visit VisitTallahassee.com/Grants.
