Oregon Wine Country Plates Matching Grants Program

The Oregon Wine Country Plates Matching Grants next application cycle will open in January of 2020.

On April 24, Travel Oregon announced five projects were awarded funding for 2019-2020.

The mission of Travel Oregon is: “A better life for Oregonians through strong, sustainable local economies.” Travel Oregon has established a program to make grant awards available to “tourism promotion agencies for wine and culinary tourism promotion.”

A “Tourism Promotion Agency” is defined as:

An incorporated nonprofit organization or governmental units responsible for the tourism promotion of a destination on a year-round basis
A nonprofit entity that manages tourism-related economic development programs and projects
A regional or statewide association that represents entities that rely on tourism-related business for more than 50% of their total income
