Grants And Economic Impact
The events supported by Team Indiana Grants benefit our communities by generating significant economic impact through visitor spending. Fans and participants who attend sports events stay in our hotels, eat at our restaurants, and visit attractions.
CALCULATE THE ECONOMIC IMPACT
Team Indiana destinations utilize the Destinations International Event Impact Calculator. This tool calculates the economic impact that is generated through participant spending at sports events.
