You can copy and paste your answers from this document into the required web portal.  Applications will only be accepted via the online web portal and applications are due by 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 14, 2024.\nWe recommend that you also have the Spring 2024 Marketing Leverage Program Terms and Conditions document open and available as you fill out this application template.  The Terms and Conditions document reviews applicant eligibility, eligible and ineligible expenses, and reimbursement processes. You can also review the reimbursement form and reimbursement instructions on \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.vatc.org/grants\" \u0014www.vatc.org/grants\u0015.\nThese documents can help you understand which receipts, proofs of payment, invoices, and tear sheets you will need to submit to be reimbursed if you are awarded funding.  Please read those documents before starting your application.\nBe sure to check the Terms and Conditions for what types of marketing expenses are eligible. This program has very strict requirements and you will not be reimbursed for ineligible expenses AND your award, if you qualify, may be reduced if ineligible expenses are listed in your match sections.\nOnce you completely submit your application you cannot edit it in the web portal.  However, you can stop and start your application in the web portal by saving your application url.  Do not click submit until you are absolutely sure you are ready to do so.\nPlease note attachments are not saved when you stop and start your application.  If you are having trouble submitting your application, please double check that all your required attachments are uploaded in the portal with the corresponding question.\nIf you need technical assistance, you can use the Technical Assistance request box on the grant application web portal or you can contact \u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:VTCMLPGrant@virginia.org\" \u0014VTCMLPGrant@virginia.org\u0015 for assistance.\nGeneral Information Section\nBeing listed on Virginia.org (the state tourism website) is a requirement for reimbursement.  Please visit \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.vatc.org/marketing/digital-marketing/webmarketing/\" \u0014https://www.vatc.org/marketing/digital-marketing/webmarketing/\u0015 to set up an account or manage your listing.  You DO NOT have to have your listing completed when you apply.  It does need to be completed before you request your reimbursement.\nAn example Virginia.org url looks like this: \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.virginia.org/listing/cape-charles/5128/\" \u0014https://www.virginia.org/listing/cape-charles/5128/\u0015\nIf the applicant is a very small locality managed DMO, please list the County Manager or Finance Officer as the secondary contact.  All other applicant types should include a secondary contact from within their organization or business.\nThe program is only open to Virginia entities.  Non-Virginia entities may partner with a Virginia lead on an application, but non-Virginia entities may not be the lead partner in VTC funding programs.\nThe maximum award is $50,000.  Applicants do not have to request the maximum award. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for the match requirements for an award up to $20,000 and for an award more than $20,000 up to $50,000. There is a 1:1 match requirement up to $20,000 for a $20,000 award.  There is a 2:1 match requirement of $100,000 for a $50,000 award.\nIf you are planning to use these funds to market any concerts, events, meetings, or conventions outside the scope of normal operations then you will need to provide a liability insurance policy/certificate with Virginia Tourism Corporation listed as an interested party.  If you do not yet have insurance coverage, you do not need to upload a policy.  VTC will send you reminders to complete this step.\nPlease list your social media handles, website, and hashtags where ap","cbCainhqn4jN40Fd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainhqn4jN40Fd","docx",158095,9,"English","# Application Template and Instructions\n## Submission Process and Deadlines\n## Terms, Eligibility, Expenses, and Reimbursement\n## General Information\n## Program Marketing Goals","[{\"question\":\"How are applications submitted for the Spring 2024 VTC Marketing Leverage Program?\",\"answer\":\"Applications must be submitted only through the online web portal.
