Grant recipients will receive grant funding once all parts of the post event report and economic impact calculations are complete.
Grants And Economic Impact
The events supported by Team Indiana Grants benefit our communities by generating significant economic impact through visitor spending. Fans and participants who attend sports events stay in our hotels, eat at our restaurants, and visit attractions.
CALCULATE THE ECONOMIC IMPACT
Team Indiana sports destinations have access to the Sports Economic Impact Calculator. This tool was developed specifically for Indiana by Rockport Analytics to calculate the economic impact that will be generated through participant spending at sports events.
