Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund

This City of Kansas City meeting on June 24, 2026, focused on training for completing and submitting final reports for the Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund (NTDF) grants. The discussion emphasized the importance of timely submission of final reports, which are required for reimbursement of grant awards. The meeting detailed the use of the NTDF portal for report submission, including budget reporting that must cover the entire event's income and expenses, not just the NTDF funds. Attendees were guided on acceptable forms of invoices and proofs of payment necessary to validate expenditures, such as paid invoices, canceled checks, and bank statements. The meeting also covered procedures for handling expenses split between NTDF and other funding sources, and the need for certified public accountant review for awards over $20,000. Questions addressed included scenarios for using expense ledgers and clarifications on acceptable payment documentation. The session reinforced maintaining updated supplier information and communication of any changes to event details to ensure compliance and smooth reimbursement processing.
