Euna Grants Transforms How Cache County, Utah Manages Over $24M in Federal Funding
Streamlined grants management drives transparency and efficiency in overseeing Cache County’s community projects
TORONTO & CHICAGO, October 22, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Euna Solutions®, a leading provider of purpose-built, cloud-based solutions for the public sector, today announced Cache County, Utah’s successful implementation of Euna Grants, an end-to-end grants management software with baked-in compliance. With its advanced search and filtering tools, Euna Grants has enabled Cache County’s departments to find and apply for relevant funding opportunities more efficiently, addressing previous challenges of disjointed grants process.
Challenge: Centralize a Fractured Grants Management Process
Home to over 140,000 residents in northern Utah and known for its agricultural and manufacturing industries, Cache County receives substantial federal funding for a variety of community projects.
Grants management in Cache County previously relied on fragmented, paper-based processes. Alma Burgess, Grants Administrator, tracked funding across various departments, but the siloed approach led to inefficiencies. Departments often applied for grants without proper coordination, leaving Burgess and the finance department unaware until late in the process.
“It was mostly word of mouth,” Burgess explained. “Each department did their own thing, and the finance department wasn’t aware of all the grants being applied for or received.” This lack of communication sometimes led to missing documentation, raising concerns about compliance and audits.
Solution: Euna Grants
To solve these issues, Cache County implemented Euna Grants’ full lifecycle management system. The solution’s advanced search and filtering tools have enabled departments to find and apply for relevant funding opportunities more efficiently.
“We can easily search and find different grants,” said Burgess. “It saves a lot of time and keeps everything centralized.” Euna Grants also improved transparency. The platform’s organization dashboard tracks all ongoing grants, ensuring the finance team is always in the loop. Also, the system’s bi-directional financial integration streamlines financial reporting to increase transparency and accountability.
Results: Over $24M in Grants Managed
With Euna Grants, Cache County has overseen the development of 73 community projects, managing $24.9M in federal funding. These projects, ranging from sports facilities to playgrounds and theaters, have significantly improved the quality of life for the residents of Cache County. Additionally, the platform helped process 77 subrecipient applications, awarding $5.1M to 72 projects.
Burgess highlights the community impact: “To see sports facilities, playgrounds, and theaters come to life as a result of our grants is truly rewarding.” This efficiency and effectiveness of Euna Grants is what makes it a valuable tool for any agency. For agencies considering Euna Grants, Burgess offers simple advice: “Just do it. It’s been beneficial and has made our processes more efficient.”

SALT LAKE CITY — Ever heard of an air economizer? It’s something some HVAC systems have, and a recent study The University of Utah found in certain conditions these systems could impact indoor air quality.
“We get different kinds of pollution events here, especially wildfire smoke, winter time inversions and dust,” said Kerry Kelly, Associate Professor in Chemical Engineering At The University Of Utah
The College of Engineering teamed up with facilities management to put their research into action throughout Salt Lake City’s campus. “We spend about 80% of our time indoors, we find that wildfire smoke has the biggest impact on indoor air quality,” said Kelly.
Kelly explained that one of the key takeaways was the type of HVAC system that impacts indoor air quality. “Something called an air economizer we found that under certain conditions those can really dry in a lot of wildfire smoke,” said Kelly.
She explained what an air economizer does: “It’s more common on commercial buildings and it’s a really good strategy that can be really efficient. So, for example, you know it’s kind of hot here in the summer but at 3 o’clock in the morning the temperature is beautiful so at 3 o’clock in the morning, it can pull in more outdoor air because you spent a lot less energy conditioning.”
She explained it’s a good way to save energy, but not so great if it’s bringing in pollution.
So, what can you do then? “Particular matter sensors are pretty good. I mean it gives you a relative indication of what your indoor air quality,” said Kelly.
She also uses portable air filters, which you can find just about anywhere. “They can be really effective but if you decide to do one of these portable air filters, make sure that you only get air filtration. You just want a simple filtration device,” said Kelly.
The Utah Runnin’ Utes have extended an offer to five-star recruit Baba Oladotun, who’s considered by credible recruiting sites to be one of the best high school players in the country.
A product of James Hubert Blake High School (Maryland), Oladotun is ranked by 247Sports Composite and ESPN as the No. 1 prospect in the class of 2027. It’s no surprise, then, that his recruitment has been heating up over the past few months, with offers flying in from schools in the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC and Big East. Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan and UCLA are among the schools that have joined the recruiting mix early.
Oladotun hasn’t been on any visits yet. He’s coming off an impressive run at the Nike EYBL Session 2 in Memphis, where the 6-foot-9, 175-pound forward showcased his combo guard skillset and shotmaking in front of several college coaches while suiting up for Team Durant’s U17 squad. In eight AAU games, Oladotun averaged 12.5 points and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 48.1% from the field.
Alex Jensen and his Utah coaching staff have yet to land a commitment beyond their 2025 recruiting class, which includes three-star forward Kendyl Sanders and 6-foot-5 guard Alvin Jackson III. Landing a player of Oladotun’s caliber would be quite the foundational piece for Jensen and company to build the Utes’ future around.
