Plan Your Durham Sporting Event
The Durham Sports Commission’s mission is to create economic and social impact by leading the community’s efforts to attract, support, and promote youth, amateur, collegiate, and professional sporting and recreational events. When you partner with us to plan your next event, you’ve facilitated an impressive assist.
What the DSC can offer:
Event Grants
The Durham Sports Commission is charged with creating economic impact through sports, and we’re proud to provide around $100,000 in grants to our local Durham events each year. We’ve associated with events of every scale, and we encourage local event owners to schedule a meeting with our staff prior to submitting their grant application.
Event Services
