    COVID-19 Cultural Assistance Grant Program ‘Create in Utah’

    The Cultural Assistance Grant Program, known as “Create In Utah,” was approved in H.B. 5010 by the Legislature during its June 18 special session. It provides $9 million in grants to cultural, artistic, botanical, or zoological organizations with annual budgets of more than $5 million. The funding, which comes from the federal CARES Act, is targeted for programs that boost tourism and help local economies recover.

    For more information or to apply, visit the Utah Division of Arts & Museums’ website.

    Utah COVID-19 Impacted Businesses Grant Program ‘Shop in Utah’

    This $25 million initiative provides grants to businesses negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies must offer a discount, coupon, or another offer with an estimated value to their customers of at least 50% of the grant amount to qualify for the program.

    Because this grant is primarily for Utah’s small businesses, at least 75% of grant funds will go to Utah companies with 250 or fewer full-time employees.

    For more information and to apply go to: https://business.utah.gov/utah-covid-19-impacted-businesses-grant-program/

    Utah COVID-19 PPE Support Grant Program ‘Safe in Utah’

    The $5 million Safe In Utah initiative uses federal CARES Act funds as part of Utah’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. It includes grants for a business’s COVID-19 response that consists of the purchase of personal protective equipment (PPE), implementation of workplace redesigns, additional signage, new technology solutions for distance working, and other items to comply with COVID-19 public health guidelines on safely returning employees to work.

    Safe In Utah begins accepting applications on July 20, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. (MDT). By August 31, 2020, GOED must award at least 75% of grant funds to small businesses of 250 or fewer full-time equivalent (FTE) employees. The program is designed to help Utah small businesses primarily.
