What Your Investment Supports

 

Small Business Scholarships & Industry Access
Investment directly funds scholarships that allow small businesses to participate in an SCTTA Partnership. These partnerships provide access to critical tools, including marketing support, industry insights, continuing education, and regional exposure—helping local businesses become more tourism-ready, competitive, and sustainable.

​

Grant Match & Administration Support (TENNTIP Program)
The Community Project fuels the TENNTIP Grant Match Advance Fund, helping communities overcome one of the biggest barriers to funding: matching dollars.
In addition, it supports grant administration for:

• Tourism Marketing Grants

• Tourism Enhancement Grants

• Arts & Cultural Grants

• Community Enhancement Initiatives

​

This ensures that communities not only secure funding—but successfully execute and maximize it.

​

Move to Tennessee Livability Program
This investment supports strategic livability marketing and workforce-focused growth initiatives. The Move to Tennessee program helps communities position themselves as desirable places to live, work, and invest—while ensuring that growth is intentional, measured, and aligned with local capacity.

​

By connecting tourism with workforce development and livability, this program strengthens the long-term resilience of each community.
