Have an Incentive-Related Project? The SITE Foundation Can Help

June 12, 2024

Did you know that every year the SITE Foundation allocates funds for a project(s) to be delivered in the following year?

The funds are disbursed to one, or spread over multiple, grant applications, based on the individual merit of the applications received and evaluated by SITE’s assessment committee.

What Kinds of Projects Qualify?

The SITE Foundation supports research, educational and advocacy projects that advance the business case for incentive travel.

These may include (but are not limited to) projects and initiatives involving:

Critical research
Trend analysis
Educational programming that elevates the skills of incentive travel professionals – this could include hiring a professional speaker for an event
Access to SITE programs for those in financial need
Access to sales, marketing and promotional platforms outside of the business events industry that help drive, promote or present the business case for incentive travel
Marketing and communications campaigns that drive, promote or present the value and transformational impact of incentive travel
Initiatives at local, national, regional or global levels that advance the business case for incentive travel.
