Hotel and Motel Tax Fund Request for Support

Download/Print PDF

The City of Morris reinvests dollars collected in the Hotel and Motel Tax Fund to help fund events and initiatives promoting tourism and generating overnight hotel stays in Morris by nonresidents. Not-for-profit, charitable, cultural, and educational organizations are invited to apply for grant awards. As events and initiatives successfully attract out-of-area visitors to stay in Morris hotels and motels, funding can continue to be made available.

Applications open in early February and will be accepted through Friday, March 17th.

To request a contribution from the Hotel and Motel Tax Fund, please provide the following information.
