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 Year 2024 our Board of Directors approved capital grants to 3 (three) 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 20 0 1 22 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 Rachel Williams 7013654568 2001 44th St SW Fargo ND 58103 Doug Peters Chair 1.00 0.10 X X 0 0 0 Nicole Dutton Executive Committee Member 1.00 0.10 X X 0 0 0 Clare Hughes Vice Chair 1.00 0.10 X X 0 0 0 Kember Anderson Secretary/Treasurer 1.00 0.10 X X 0 0 0 Holly Heitkamp Director 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 Ramon Sosa Director 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 James Stinsman Director 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 Kimberly Busch Director 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 Casey Sanders-Berglund Director 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 Kira Odenbach Director (As of Sept 24) 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 Emily Nielsen Director 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 Tanner Tweten Director (Until June 24) 1.00 0.10 X 0 0 0 Charles Johnson President/CEO 40.00 0.10 X 180009 0 17348 180009 0 17348 1 0 1 0 0 Fargo Lodging Tax 900099 3492677 3492677 Housing Bureau Revenue 900099 476254 476254 West Fargo Lodging Tax 900099 464631 464631 Moorhead Lodging Tax 900099 178658 178658 34312 34312 4646532 195548 195548 86477 45253 41224 41224 Advertising 541800 6475 6475 6475 4889779 4687756 6475 195548 1189883 4059 198229 794130 19583 126235 68643 15750 171626 547216 103091 38816 200912 226869 65017 21886 Dues & Subscriptions 406129 Housing Bureau 373178 17958 4589210 4327855 4480328 498562 374581 32248 35647 13771 36924 1273659 740992 378912 532667 18700 18700 5270048 5478847 162951 106274 1018887 983770 1181838 1090044 X 4088210 4388803 4088210 4388803 5270048 5478847 300569 24 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 781718 387359 394359 341941 203633 138308 150000 150000 0 532667 X 6563939 166667 1507493 1674160 4889779 0 4889779 6414428 166667 1658551 1825218 4589210 0 4589210 Part X, Line 2: Visit FM believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting its annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the consolidated financial statements.
