The Bootstrap Bucks reimbursement grant program is designed to help rural communities promote tourism events. Approved GO TEXAN Certified Rural Communities can use up to $2,500 in reimbursable funds for one of four eligible promotional items: posters, large signage (billboards/banners), newspaper/magazine advertisements and radio/television spots.
