Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Utah Nonprofits Supporting Black Girls and Women
The Annual Grant for Nonprofit Organizations to Alleviate Inequities in the Community prioritizes outcomes that address the unique challenges faced by Black girls and women in Utah. The Utah Department of Workforce Services, in partnership with the Utah Nonprofits Association, has identified key areas of focus for this grant program. Nonprofits that support Black girls and women in Utah can leverage this funding to drive meaningful change in their communities.
Targeting Health and Education Disparities
Utah's Black population is concentrated in the Wasatch Front region, with Salt Lake County having the largest number of Black residents. However, this demographic faces significant health and education disparities. The Utah Department of Health has reported higher rates of maternal mortality and infant mortality among Black women compared to their white counterparts. Furthermore, data from the Utah State Board of Education shows that Black students lag behind their peers in academic achievement and graduation rates. Nonprofits addressing these disparities can expect to see priority consideration for funding. For instance, initiatives that provide health education, maternal health services, or academic support programs for Black girls and women may be eligible for grants up to $1 million.
Fostering Economic Empowerment
Utah's economy is diverse, with major industries including technology, healthcare, and finance. However, Black women in Utah face significant barriers to economic empowerment, including lower rates of business ownership and higher rates of unemployment. The Utah Governor's Office of Economic Development has launched initiatives to support minority-owned businesses, and this grant program can complement those efforts. Nonprofits that provide business training, mentorship, or financial assistance to Black women entrepreneurs may be well-positioned to achieve the priority outcomes of this grant. Small business grants in Utah, such as those offered through the Utah Microenterprise Loan Fund, can also be leveraged in conjunction with this funding.
