Experience Jackson seeks to invest in the development and expansion of events and assets that identify with our mission for both the community and visitors with the goal of increasing tourism and economic growth. Events, arts, and unique tourism initiatives have proven to generate out-of-area interest that can be converted to day or overnight visitation to Jackson County. Each of these can serve as an economic magnet that provides direct, positive impact and opportunity for local businesses to showcase their products and services.

Experience Jackson will annually allocate its budget monies through an application process to be used for marketing and economic support of events and tourism initiatives. It is intended that Experience Jackson will not be the primary funding source for events and applicants are encouraged to seek support from other sources.

All requests for funding must meet the provisions notated in the Partnership/Sponsorship Policy. The policy agreement must be signed and returned along with the Partnership Form 90 days prior to your event/initiative. All partners in good standing can recieve agreed upon partner services provided by Experience Jackson.

For questions or concerns please contact Rachel Buchanan, Marketing & Development Manager, at (517) 764-4440 or Rachel@ExperienceJackson.com.

Thank you for your efforts to strengthen the positive perception of Jackson County, MI as a must-visit destination.
