After placed on the ballot by the County Council, the renewal vote will be on November 5th, 2024.
ZAP was first voted on and passed by Salt Lake County residents in 1996, awarding its first grants in 1997.
Every 10 years, ZAP is placed on the ballot for Salt Lake County residents to vote for the program’s renewal.
The supporting votes continue to be strong due to the successful reach and impact on parks & nonprofit arts & culture groups.
Voter approval was 71% in 2004 and 77% in 2014.
For every purchase in Salt Lake County that includes sales tax, one (1) penny of every $10 spent (1/10 of 1%) goes to providing grants to qualified programs.
Renewing ZAP makes a difference in our community by supporting 232 arts, cultural, and zoological organizations, as well as 22 rec centers, 70 parks, and hundreds of miles of trails.
