Event Sponsorship Application

The purpose of the Event Sponsorship program is to support groups through "the sponsorship and/promotion of events recommended by the Oklahoma City Convention & Visitors Commission and anticipated to enhance the local economy through increased convention and/or tourism (visitor) activity in Oklahoma City."

The funding for this program is generated by Oklahoma City hotel tax receipts. As stated in the financial guidelines for the program, all sponsorship funding awards are subject to the availability of funds to Visit Oklahoma City. Even though funding may be awarded, the payment of any award may be less than the anticipated amount due to the actual availability of funds.
