Tourism

The St. Germain Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the second round of our grant program for St. Germain. The 2025 Tourism Development Grant is funded by room tax and will be available to not-for-profit organizations and units of government located in the town of St. Germain.

The Chamber will accept grant applications for costs related to developing St. Germain visitor attractions, amenities, and interactive and hands-on experiences.
In addition, the funds are aimed at assisting organizations in raising awareness of the area by creating new attractions and marketing projects. The criteria for awarding the grant will be based on the scope of the projects and the organization(s)'s needs.

To be funded, projects must show that they will increase overnight tourist stays and make a positive economic impact in the local area. In addition, projects should have a broad appeal and target markets outside the local area. Applicants must also be located in a municipality affiliated with the Chamber. An "affiliated" municipality has passed a room tax ordinance supporting the Chamber with a tax of at least 3%.

The deadline to apply for the second round of grants is September 30, 2025. Returning applicants from the first round are welcome to reapply without submitting organizational documents in duplicate. For more information or to request a copy of the grant criteria and application, please contact the St. Germain Chamber of Commerce at 715-477-2205 or [email protected].
