Festivals & Cultural Events Support Fund
Background and Goals of the Festivals & Cultural Events Support Fund Grant Program
The Festivals & Cultural Events Support Fund was launched in 2024 by the Fort Madison Tourism Bureau and is designed to provide financial support for events that serve both the residents of Lee County and the visitors who travel to the Fort Madison area for the sense of authenticity and welcoming spirit that the destination exudes.
The primary purposes of this fund are to:
Support and preserve cultural identity within the Fort Madison area;
Stimulate the creation of new or expansion of existing festivals and cultural events; and
Contribute to the financial viability and long-term sustainability of the area’s festivals and cultural events.
