Coronavirus Relief Funds (CARF) for DMOs

Application for Funds

Applications must be submitted no later than October 1, 2021


Guidance in the US Treasury FAQs indicates:

  • State and local governments may provide CRF funding to DMOs (Destination Marketing Organization) for activities related to COVID-19 response.
  • State or local governments may provide CRF for things such as "expenses incurred to publicize the resumption of activities and steps taken to ensure a safe experience...due to the public health emergency."

• In particular, funds used to remarket the recipient's convention facilities and tourism industry may be eligible if they are also used to publicize steps taken to ensure a safe experience and inform visitors about what they can do to travel safely and limit transmission of the coronavirus. 
• However, long-term destination marketing plans that move beyond the current public health emergency may not be eligible.


By submitting this application and accepting funds you are agreeing to abide by the allowable DMO expenditures as stated in the federal guidelines for Coronavirus Relief Funds. 

*NEW: Did you know, DMOs can now take advantage of Direct Deposit? This service is available for all CARF funds distributed by the Wyoming Office of Tourism.
