A small Utah firm for small Utah organizations.
The Cooperative Marketing Grant has funded 1,147 applications and over $69 million in tourism marketing since 2005 — but its application is forty-nine numbered fields and a 100-point rubric. We close that gap.
The Co-op Marketing Grant is one of the best-kept opportunities in Utah's nonprofit ecosystem. A modest local museum can put $100,000 of state cash and another $100,000 in matching funds against a single year's tourism campaign — enough to take a regional festival and put it in front of audiences in Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and beyond.
The catch is that the application is built for organizations with marketing departments and CFOs. If you're a volunteer-board-led nonprofit, a city clerk wearing five hats, or a tribal cultural center with a small staff, the runway from "we should apply" to "submitted by June 10" is long.
We've spent months getting fluent in the program: every field of the application, every clause of the standard Grant Agreement, every line item that's eligible and every one that isn't. We use AI to draft fast and a careful human read on every word that goes to the State.
Our practice is exclusively Tier 2. Our clients are Utah nonprofits, cities, and tribes — never out-of-state organizations, never for-profit attractions, never groups that don't fit the program. We tell prospects "this isn't for you" almost as often as we say yes. It's a feature.
