DUNS to UEI

The federal government transitioned from the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) to a new Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) through the SAM.gov system.

Beginning in April 2022, all organizations applying for funding from our agency will be required to have a UEI from SAM.gov. As of this time, the federal government no longer recognizes the DUNS number. Visit Sam.gov for instructions on obtaining a UEI. Sam.gov is always free. If you need assistance, please use the help tools available through Sam.gov.

Individuals applying for our funding do not need to create a UEI.

You will need the following documents for any grant you apply for through UA&M:

Charitable Solicitations Permit: For organizations only - A Charitable Solicitations Permit is required by Utah law and must be current in order to apply for our grants. A charitable organization may not knowingly solicit, request, promote, advertise, or sponsor a charitable solicitation that originates in Utah, is received in Utah, or is caused to be made through business operations in Utah unless the organization is either exempt under Section 13-22-8 or registered with the division of Consumer Protections under Section 13-22-6. You may learn more about this, or apply for a CSP on the Division of Consumer Protection's website.
UEI Number: All organizations will need a UEI which is free to apply for at sam.gov (this is not required for Individual Artists)
Now Playing Utah: You will need to upload a screenshot of your organization or event listing on nowplayingutah.com
Work samples or other supporting documentation that demonstrates your organization's work

Depending on the grant you are applying for, there will be different attachments/requirements that are specific to that grant opportunity. Please review the guidelines for the grant you are apply and familiarize yourself with the necessary information and documentation.

All of our grants are first reviewed for eligibility and requirements by the grants staff. All eligible applications are then reviewed by a panel of community members assigned to each grant category. These panels score and comment on all applications and make funding recommendations. These recommendations are then forwarded to the full Utah Division of Arts & Museums or Office of Museum Services board who must approve all grant amounts before they can be awarded. Utah Division of Arts & Museums staff are not allowed to score, comment, or make funding recommendations for any applicant. All panel review members are required to sign a conflict of interest policy and must recuse themselves from discussion and scoring of any application they may have a conflict with.

In an effort to increase transparency of taxpayer dollars, the state of Utah now requires nonprofits and other entities meeting specific criteria to create a listing on the entity registry. Nonprofits who are required to file reports with the state auditor's office must be on the registry. If your nonprofit receives more than $25,000 in any combination of federal, state, or local public money, you need to register your nonprofit on the registry. For directions and to place your organization on the registry, click here: https://entityregistry.utah.gov
