ACTIVE CAMPAIGNS
CREATING A CALIFORNIA EVENT FUND
There are 23 states with dedicated, state-run funds for bidding on and hosting large events. With no similar funding source, California is at a competitive disadvantage and losing business to these other states.
We are building up grassroots support as we prepare to pursue a mechanism for creating a fund that brings more events to California—and along with them more jobs, visitor spending, and tax revenue.
