Because of this novel coronavirus that has made a massive impact all across the country, hospitals have struggled to come up with enough equipment to provide their doctors, nurses, and other health professionals with enough protective equipment. Additionally, new government mandates may be making it incredibly difficult for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grants-for-small-business\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">small businesses<\/a> to comply. This week, the State of Utah is opening up a PPE grant program for a total of $5 million. This program was made possible by Utah Legislature setting aside 5 million in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/the-cares-act-what-you-need-to-know\/\">CARES Act<\/a> funds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This initiative will be managed by Utah&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/business.utah.gov\/\">Governor\u2019s Office of Economic Development<\/a>, and is being called &#8220;<em>Safe in Utah<\/em>.&#8221; Grants under this initiative can include grants for organizations that are looking to purchase additional personal protective equipment, additional signage, new technology solutions for any distance working, or anything else that will help organizations to comply with new public safety guidelines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/pexels-photo-3951628.jpeg?fit=1880%2C1253&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"people wearing diy masks\" class=\"wp-image-5687\" width=\"940\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/pexels-photo-3951628.jpeg 1880w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/pexels-photo-3951628-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/pexels-photo-3951628-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/pexels-photo-3951628-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/pexels-photo-3951628-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photo by cottonbro on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/people-wearing-diy-masks-3951628\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Pexels.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Executive Director of Governor&#8217;s Office of Economic Development Van Hale spoke on this emerging grant program: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We encourage businesses to do everything they can to help keep their employees and customers safe and healthy. We are pleased the Legislature created this grant program and look forward to helping more Utah companies, particularly small businesses, pay for modifications to their workplace or technology used to support remote work. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the reasons this kind of program is so important is because for many small businesses who want to stay open even during this pandemic, complying with government mandates, keeping employees and customers safe, and still being able to maintain operations can be difficult. Grant programs such as this can be helpful to help SMBs to fill this gap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All these grants will come at a first-come-first-served basis.
