Since 1987, EDCUtah has been the private/public bridge helping Utah businesses grow.
Program purpose: To provide funding to cities and counties in support of specific economic development projects, professional development opportunities, and welcoming and belonging initiatives.
Who is eligible: EDCUtah public sector investors may apply for match funding for professional development, special projects, and welcoming and belonging initiatives.

In a very fun way! Every June we hold the Golf for GrantsTournament. EDCUtah investors sponsor holes, foursomes, tee prizes, food and beverage, and more. Net proceeds from the tournament (typically $30,000 to $40,000) fund the next year’s grant cycle.
The Eaglewood Golf Course in North Salt Lake was our Golf for Grants 2023 host. For more information, email Greta Hepworth.
