Newspaper clipping of the first ever Lincoln County Tourism Board

The Tourism Board meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 5 pm in the Lincoln Health Board Room 111 6th street, Hugo, CO 80821, unless otherwise noted on the calendar on this site.

The Lincoln County Tourism Board is a dedicated group of five volunteers, appointed by the County Commissioners, who represent the heart and soul of our diverse communities.

Our mission is two-fold:

  • Support Local, Attract Visitors: We strive to distribute funding fairly to beautification projects and events that enhance the quality of life for our residents. At the same time, we leverage these efforts to attract visitors to Lincoln County, boosting tourism and generating revenue for local businesses.

In short, we’re all about making Lincoln County a thriving destination, both for residents and visitors!

Have a project in mind? We’d love to hear from you!

Funding Guidelines

The Lincoln County Tourism Board supports projects that attract visitors from outside Lincoln County or enhance the visitor experience.

Application Process:

  • Proposals: Submit five written copies (unless online) with a brief project description and estimated costs.
  • Presentation: A representative must present the proposal in person at a Board meeting.
  • Review: Allocations are made on a case-by-case basis and are not automatic. The Board reviews all proposals carefully and awards funding at its discretion.
  • Funding Use & Reimbursement: Awards must be used within one year of approval; extensions require an application.
  • Reimbursement is for actual expenditures upon approval of invoices by the Tourism Board and County Commissioners.

FUNDING

Submitting Your Request

Please complete the forms provided for use by organizations requesting funding through the Lincoln County Tourism Board / Lincoln County Lodging Tax. Select one of two options:

  • The forms may be downloaded in PDF format and printed or
  • Completed online (preferred). 

In either case, you must complete and submit your form when funding is initially requested.

Please follow the instructions on each form- bids, proposals, invoices, budgets, and photos may be attached directly to online form submissions. 

The Post-Event or Project Questionnaire is a mandatory tool, available as a downloadable PDF or preferably submitted online, designed to help organizations report on the results and effectiveness of their funded initiatives; it’s crucial for the Tourism Board to understand the impact of their investments and ensure accountability, requiring submission with relevant photos (event or before/after project images) upon completion
