Orem C.A.R.E. Tax Funding for the Arts
City of Orem CARE Grants - Orem Utah
Orem Cultural Arts & Recreation Enrichment TaxIn a significant display of support for the enhancement of recreation and cultural arts in the City of Orem, voters approved a measure in November 2005 to implement a local sales and use tax. This tax, amounting to 1/10th of 1% or approximately one cent for every ten dollars spent, aimed to bolster the city's commitment to promoting cultural activities and recreational opportunities.
The ensuing Cultural Arts and Recreation Enrichment (CARE) Program was set in motion in April 2006, with the first CARE grants being disbursed in 2007. The program sought to enrich the community by facilitating funding for various initiatives, ensuring a vibrant and diverse cultural landscape for Orem residents.
Fast forward to November 2013, and Orem voters once again demonstrated their unwavering support for the CARE program. They overwhelmingly voted to renew the CARE tax for an additional ten years, ensuring the program's continuity until March 2024. This extension secured the necessary funding to continue the remarkable progress made over the years and fostered a sense of pride within the community.
Under the CARE program, both nonprofit organizations and government entities, including the City of Orem itself, are eligible to receive funds. The allocation of CARE funds is a responsibility shouldered by the City Council, which meticulously reviews grant applications and makes informed decisions regarding the distribution of these resources.
Thanks to the ongoing commitment of Orem's residents and the diligent work of the City Council, the CARE program continues to shape the cultural and recreational landscape of the city, enriching the lives of its inhabitants and promoting the arts for years to come.
