$597K In Grants Awarded To Promote Tourism In Bucks County

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — The Bucks County Tourism Grant Program has announced the award of $597,463 in tourism grants to 58 community businesses and organizations.

The program was established in 2008 between Visit Bucks County and the County of Bucks to assist in the development and enhancement of tourism initiatives in Bucks County. It is funded from a portion received from the Bucks County lodging tax assessed to visitors staying overnight in hotels, bed and breakfasts and home-shares.

Since the inception of the grant program, more than $7.85 million has been distributed to more than 156 organizations. Grant funding is used for marketing, special events and exhibitions, product development and capital improvement projects all taking place in 2026.

Each year, one grant recipient is recognized with the Charles H. Martin Grant, named in honor of former Bucks County Commissioner Martin’s commitment to starting and supporting the Bucks County Tourism Grant Program. The 2025 recipient is the Newtown Historic Association.
