This includes, but is not limited to, leisure travelers, business travelers, group tours, meetings and conferences, and youth and adult sporting events. To that end, we market the community and its assets in a variety of different ways, including digital, social media, print and broadcast advertising; attendance at trade shows for meeting and sporting event planners; membership in organizations with which we can collaborate in pursuit of our primary goal. As part of our efforts to attract such events, we provide a variety of event assistance, both in the form of cash assistance and services to conferences and tournaments, as needed. Services include the printing of name badges and signage, as well as on-site staffing for registration. The Fargo-Moorhead CVB operates a Housing Bureau as a service to local groups who sponsor youth and adult sports tournaments (youth hockey, soccer & baseball, adult softball etc.). It's also available for conference sponsors but is primarily used by sporting groups. In a typical year our Housing staff will deal with between 40 and 45 events. The Fargo-Moorhead CVB operates a capital grant ("Destination Development") fund to help other local non-profits add, expand or enhance facilities that play a role in bringing visitors to the community. Recipients include, but are not limited to, tournament facilities, local attractions and arts groups. In Short Year 2023 our Board of Directors approved capital grants to 2 (two) different local entities. These grants are documented on another form. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 16 0 1 18 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X The Organization 7013719911 2001 44th St SW Fargo ND 58103 Doug Peters Chair 1.00 0.10 X X 0 0 0 Tom Kasper Past Chair 1.00 0.10 X X 0 0 0 Joe Miller Vice Chair 1.00 0.10 X X 0 0 0 Kember Anderson Secretary/Treasurer 1.00 0.10 X X 0 0 0 Melissa Richard Director 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 Holly Heitkamp Director 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 Konrad Olson Director 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 Brett Busby Director 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 Clare Hughes Director 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 Kimberly Busch Director 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 Nicole Dutton Director 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 Charles Johnson President/CEO 40.00 0.10 X 161122 0 11715 161122 0 11715 1 0 1 0 0 Fargo Lodging Tax 900099 1138020 1138020 West Fargo Lodging Tax 900099 132576 132576 Housing Bureau Revenue 900099 94384 94384 Moorhead Lodging Tax 900099 66210 66210 5550 5550 1436740 46127 46127 28126 16658 11468 11468 Advertising 541800 13158 13158 13158 1507493 1448208 13158 46127 600000 229 75411 266859 114 41851 25129 1727 45822 133585 17647 105287 125039 70917 12232 1692 Housing Bureau 83407 Dues & Subscriptions 45693 5838 1658479 4331278 4327855 651169 498562 38743 32248 13771 13771 1054886 675974 389008 378912 18700 18700 5442669 5270048 122086 162951 1081387 1018887 1203473 1181838 X 4239196 4088210 4239196 4088210 5442669 5270048 -150986 0 X 0 0 0 578221 360998 217223 267665 164976 102689 209000 150000 59000 378912 1 City of Moorhead PO Box 779 Moorhead MN 56561 416005386 Government 500000 0 Baseball Field Renovations Red River Regional Marksmanship Center 640 16th St NE West Fargo ND 58078 203510474 501(c)(3) 100000 0 Constuction of New Facility 2 0 Part I, Line 2: The FMCVB Board of Directors & CEO manage a capital grant program for tourism-related non-profit entities.
