FY 2016 Appropriation

The Grants program provides funding to more than 200 non-profit arts organizations and to about 40 of Utah's 250 museums. Activities are planned and carried out by grantees and state money is always fully matched. The Grants program assures the availability of quality, affordable arts and museums experiences for all Utahns and acts as a catalyst for fundraising opportunities.
