2023 Statewide Grant Workshop Tour

The Division of Outdoor Recreation’s grants & planning team is hitting the road for the 2023 Grant Workshop Tour to spread the word about this year’s grant programs, including the Utah Outdoor Recreation Grant (UORG), the Recreation Restoration Infrastructure Grant (RRI), the Utah Children’s Outdoor Recreation and Education Grant (UCORE), the OHV Recreation Grant (OHVR), the Recreation Trails Program (RTP) and the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF).

Join us for a workshop near you to learn about each of our funding programs, including who’s eligible, funding amounts, planning a successful application, and how to write it in a compelling way. We’ll also update you on new grants from our division and share what’s new for the 2024 grant season, new timelines, and introduce new members of our team! All workshops include a Q&A to ensure your questions about your next project can be answered! This year’s workshop locations include Duchesne, Price, Monticello, Bicknell, Tropic, Cedar City, Richfield, Logan, Park City, Orem, Sterling, and Salt Lake City.
