Overview
The General Operating Support (GOS) Grant is a two-year funding opportunity for nonprofit organizations and municipal governments in Utah focused on the arts or public museums. This grant helps supplement general operating revenue, with varying funding limits based on organizational revenue. Eligible organizations can apply through a full or simplified application process, depending on their budget. A minimum 1:1 cash match is required for all grants.
This grant application is open to nonprofit organizations or municipal governments whose mission is primarily the arts or a public museum. The purpose of the GOS Grant is to invest in arts organizations and museums based in and serving Utah residents. GOS Grants fund museums, arts organizations, and local arts agencies. This is a two-year grant. A two year grant can be re-evaluated and adjusted by the UA&M Board if deemed necessary. Funds may be used to supplement general operating revenue.
Funding
Organizations may choose to apply through either the full or simplified application. Deciding which application to use is based on budget and expected grant award amount. The simplified application is primarily for organizations with budgets of $20,000 or less, or organizations with budgets over $20,000 that historically receive modest grant awards ($6,000). Organizations with annual revenue of less than $5,000 are not eligible for GOS and can contact the Grants Team to learn about other options.
