Grant Application Forms

The Utah Indigent Defense Commission (IDC) receives state funding to supplement local indigent defense systems' spending. County and city governments may apply for IDC grants if reimbursement for supplemental expenditures over current spending is intended to meet IDC Core System Principles.

FY23 grant application materials will be available in late 2021. Please contact Greg Bates at gregbates@utah.gov or 801-979-3358 for questions.
