Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, Chambers of Commerce without full-time staff, business associations, and organizers of festivals, events, and other tourism-related activities. Selected recipients will collaborate closely with the Cattaraugus County Tourism Department to ensure alignment with the county’s tourism goals.
