UCAIR opens grant process

The Utah Clean Air Partnership (UCAIR) has opened the application process for its 2020 grants program. Submissions will be accepted through July 31 at the organization’s website, https://www.ucair.org/grants/.

Grant funding is awarded to support projects and programs that reduce pollutants that degrade Utah’s air quality ,including reducing emissions from area sources, including residential homes and commercial sources such as, dry cleaners, print shops, gas stations, auto body paint shops, etc; utilizing emerging technologies that result in measurable emissions reductions; and reducing emissions in communities that are socioeconomically challenged.

Private-sector companies, government entities and educational institutions are eligible to apply. Awarded grants average $20,000 to $30,000 and funding will be prioritized by the amount of actual emissions reduction anticipated at home, in the community and at work from the projects.

Now in its eighth year, the UCAIR grants program has awarded 59 grants totaling more than $2 million.
