Shop In Utah Grant

The COVID-19 Impacted Businesses Grant Program, known as Shop In Utah, is a grant program to help support businesses and provide discounts to consumers.

This $55 million initiative, funded with federal CARES Act monies, provides grants to businesses negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies must give 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.

Shop In Utah is one way the state’s supporting business and encouraging Utahns to engage with local businesses.

In its August special session, the Legislature created three grant tiers, providing more assistance for companies most impacted by the pandemic.
