Funding drives much of the discussion around what an organization can achieve. Measuring the impacts of EDA grants on grantees’ and clients’ abilities to gain additional funding is a strong indicator of grant success. This KPI reflects on the amount of financing and investment deals EDA's grantees and their clients obtained as a result of the grant and its provided services.

This performance indicator measures the estimated sum of private investment leveraged, by communities and regions, attributable to the EDA investment made to support the travel and tourism sector.
