All grants are reviewed, scored and approved prior to the event on a point-based system but are awarded on a performance basis. Grant approval and grant funding may not equal the same amount.
At all events sponsored by Gulf Shores | Orange Beach Sports & Events either by in-kind contributions or cash-only, event-specific sponsors or GSOB Sports & Events sponsors may be promoted or be present on site.
