SALT LAKE CITY — Local organizations who provide music, theater, festivals and connections to local history are vital to their communities. They create beauty, unite people across cultures, generate jobs and foster the creativity needed to tackle complex problems. To support this crucial work, the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation is donating $276,450 in new grant funding to community-serving organizations in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho.
The grants will help fund a variety of projects, including free arts events and education; community celebrations of cultural heritage; art education and festivals for kids; and programs for Indigenous students and rural youth.
“Local programs like these play a crucial role in nurturing and uplifting community organizations who not only provide essential support to their neighbors, but also inspire and connect us all, reminding us of the strength we share together,” said Dick Garlish, director of the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation and president of Rocky Mountain Power
This recent round of grants focused on art and culture is one of the foundation’s four annual grant cycles.
A total of 66 grants were given to local organizations in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming. A sample of grants includes:
