Saguache County Sales Tax Grant

What is a Sales Tax Grant (STG)? The Saguache County Sales Tax Grant was established through a ballot initiative that created a fund to distribute to individuals, groups and organizations to better the Saguache County community as a whole. It is derived from a 1% sales tax on most goods sold in Saguache County, and is distributed through a grant process determined by the County Commissioners.

Submissions are closed and will re-open in Spring 2024.
