UOT is pleased to announce that 55 grants were awarded funding through the annual Co-op Marketing Grant program.

A total of 63 applications were submitted requesting a total of $6.5Million. The amount available was $4.7Million. This $1.8M gap between requests and funding is the largest that UOT has had since the program began. The scoring committee had the tough work of scrutinizing ROI more strictly and prioritizing collaboration with DMO’s. Congratulations to all the recipients.
