Our Mission
The mission of Visit Macon County is to steward and promote the area’s rich historic, natural, and cultural resources, create economic opportunities through community-based tourism, and enhance the well-being of residents. VMC will promote Macon County attributes and events and collaborate on opportunities that benefit the health and happiness of our community.
Stewardship
When approached thoughtfully, tourism can help sustain and enhance the very qualities that make communities special. Through our efforts, we seek to, first and foremost, further contribute to our home being a wonderful place to live for present and future generations, while also benefiting from it being a wonderful place to visit. We seek to lift up our unique sense of place and promote attributes, events, and programs that result in community benefit, historic preservation, cultural celebration, and care for the natural environment. When exploring our communities, we encourage our guests to follow the
Leave No Trace Principles and the
United States Travel Care Code.

Donate Online
We offer several convenient ways to give.
We recommend donating through Zeffy because 100% of your donation goes directly to Visit Macon County. Zeffy is free for nonprofits and is supported by optional contributions from donors. After selecting your donation amount, you'll be asked if you'd like to make a contribution to Zeffy. This contribution is completely optional, you may change the amount or select $0 if you prefer.
PayPal and Venmo:
If you prefer to donate through PayPal or Venmo, those options are also available for your convenience. Please note that standard payment processing fees apply, so Visit Macon County receives slightly less than your full donation; however, you may choose to cover the processing fee at check-out.
