To date, the Micro Fund has provided 48 grant awards to entrepreneurs in northern Utah totaling approximately $70,000.

OGDEN, Utah (AP) The Ogden branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Utah organized a Martin Luther King Jr. Day rally against racial injustice on Monday.
Roughly 25 cars congregated with social distance in the Utah city to say that the problems that resulted in the civil rights movement King died for remain entrenched in American society today.
“We just can’t pretend racism doesn’t exist,” said Betty Sawyer, the president of the Ogden NAACP. “It does.”
The gathering Monday came about seven months after widespread demonstrations occurred in Utah and nationwide over the police killing of George Floyd, a Black man who died in Minneapolis when a white police officer pressed his knee on Floyd’s neck for over eight minutes after he said he could not breathe.
