Weber Cares Grant
WeberCARES grants are intended to assist small businesses with a portion of their COVID-19 related expenses and a portion of business losses incurred, based on the priorities outlined. WeberCARES grant applications will be accepted until all available funds have been awarded.
The Ogden CARES Business Grant Program provides grants to support businesses that have an unmet financial need due to COVID-19 (coronavirus). The program is funded by the federal coronavirus relief fund, which was established by the CARES Act.
To qualify for Ogden CARES, businesses must be located within Ogden City (see map) and have a current Ogden City business license. The business must also demonstrate an unmet financial need due to COVID-19. Businesses having received other federal, state, and/or local COVID-19 assistance may apply for an Ogden CARES grant, provided they demonstrate the business still has an unmet financial need. Businesses located within Weber County, but outside Ogden City, should apply for the county’s grant program, Weber CARES.
