Items that will be considered eligible expense include, but are not lmited to, bid fees, rights fees, sponsorships, payments to vendors, advertising, marketing, venue rental, equipment rental, promotional materials, production costs, and fees and costs to officiants. Ineligible expenses include, but are not limited to, travel costs of applicant staff, solicitation efforts, lobbying fees, meals or dining on occasions other than the dates of the nonprofessional sporting events described in the application, items that are purchased for resale, prizes given to participants, and alcholoic beverages.

The end of event report is critical to the RSAD Grant process. Without this information, Think Iowa City and the IEDA cannot effectively review the impact this grant program is having on Iowa communities. Failure on the part of Think Iowa City to provide this information to the State could result in the failure to award future grants. For this reason, all end of event reports and receipts must be provided to Think Iowa City within three (3) weeks of the conclusion of your event. RSAD funding will be provided after we have received all required documents. If those documents have not been received by Think Iowa City three (3) weeks following the conclusion of the event, RSAD funding may not be provided to you.
