Grant Application Guidelines
Funding which is derived from receipts of the transient guest tax is
available in an effort to provide funds for the enhancement of tourism in
the Oakley Area.   All applications for funding are to be reviewed by the
Tourism and Convention Board and follow these guidelines:

  1. All funding requests are to be submitted to the Tourism and Convention
Board at least a minimum of 60 days prior to a scheduled event or use.
Requests for funding in an emergency will be considered by the Tourism and
Convention Board case by case.
  2. A letter or the following request form must be submitted by the
individual, department, or organization requesting funds and how the funds
will be utilized.
  3. The letter or request form will also state if the request is an annual
request or a one-time request.  If the request is an annual request and gets
approval from the Tourism and Convention Board (as approved by the City
Council) each year another request must be submitted to the Tourism and
Convention Board for the approval process. 
  4. All requests for funding are to meet within the guidelines of the
Transient Guest Tax Policy.  (You may view the guidelines on
