2027 EFS Standard Application
Ends on
The North Tahoe Chamber is thrilled to announce the commencement of our 2027 Event Funding Sponsorship program. Starting this year, we are holding one application cycle; with events previously funded for at least two years being invited to a condensed application and all new events or events funded for at least one year will complete the standard application.
Submission is for events scheduled to take place at North Lake Tahoe between January 1 - December 31, 2027.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: September 15, 2026, at 11:59 pm
A total of $650,000 has been earmarked to support events in 2027 throughout the North Tahoe Region. We will fund up to $50,000 for previously funded events, and sponsorship will not exceed 50% of the applicant event's budget. These funds are generated by the North Lake Tahoe Tourism Business Improvement District (NLT-TBID) to foster events that contribute to community vitality, environmental stewardship, and economic health in the region.
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN APPLYING?
We are eager to learn about your 2027 event. To enhance your chances of success, we encourage you to carefully review the Event Funding webpage as it contains crucial information to assist you in submitting a compelling submission.
Some key points to keep in mind are:
- Familiarize yourself with the Event Funding Guiding Document to gain insights into our investment philosophy, eligibility criteria, and application scoring.
- Read through the 2027 EFS event application timeline.
The Chamber is moving to a more data-driven review and scoring process this cycle, with staff conducting a detailed, criteria-based evaluation of every submission. Combined with a smaller number of funded events overall, approximately 35, compared to 49 approved out of 56 submissions in 2026, applicants should expect this to be a considerably more competitive cycle than in years past.
Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are here to assist you in making your event a success!
