Apply Now for Grants in 2025

Project Rainbow Utah is accepting applications for the 2025 Community Grant Fund, and the deadline to apply is January 12. 

Our mission is to empower and uplift LGBTQ+ people across Utah, using the funds we receive from our flag campaigns to provide support for a variety of efforts that center and celebrate our trans and queer community.  Past awardees have included art shows, community clubs and organizations, performance pieces, special events, service organizations, and more. 

In 2025, we hope to continue work with our established partnerships while reaching new organizations and individuals, especially in rural Utah.
