The Utah Outdoor Recreation Grant supports infrastructure projects throughout the state that enhance recreational opportunities and amenities in Utah’s communities. The built recreational infrastructure must provide an economic opportunity for the local area with the ability to increase visitation, boost local businesses, and/or attract and retain residents.

2023 Grant Programs:

• Utah Outdoor Recreation Grant (UORG) Tier 1 is for new outdoor recreation infrastructure projects and helps communities build recreation amenities that support local economic development.
  
• UORG – Regional Asset Tier Grants fund large projects with a total value of at least $3 million. For rural counties, a 1:1 match is sufficient.
  
• UORG – Mini-Grant is ideal for smaller projects. If the project requires only a small investment to complete the project, the mini-grant may be a good fit.
  
• Recreation Restoration Infrastructure Grant (RRI): Funds are awarded to restore high-use and high-priority trails or repair or replace other types of developed recreation infrastructure on public lands. 
• Utah Outdoor Classroom Grant: Awards to community-based non-profit organizations or publicly funded K-12 schools to help get Utah’s K-12 students outside— to learn, gain a skill, and enjoy the outdoors.

Eligible project types can be found starting on page 5 of the Program Guide. See Supporting Documents, below.
