Steward Moab outlines staffing, grants and a $2,500 OHV donation for spill kits
Summary
The new Steward Moab nonprofit told the committee it plans limited staffing for 2026 funded by county contract, RTP and OHV grants (about $35,000) and noted a $2,500 private donation earmarked for spill and waste kits.
Steward Moab gave a detailed account of its early-year funding and staffing plans at the Dec. 11 meeting. The presenter said part-time staff for motorized education are funded through an OHV education grant and RTP funds, giving about $35,000 of usable funding spread over six months for OHV work. She also said a private donation of $2,500 — from a community of motor‑home users — will be used specifically for spill kits and waste kits.
"We have about $35,000 that we can work with for OHV," the presenter said, and described how donations designated for specific recreation groups can be allocated through the nonprofitdonation portal. The presenter explained that some of the initial county funding will cover full-time staff overhead (the county will front $50,000 then $25,000 quarterly) but that Steward Moab needs to build match funds to make multi-year grants sustainable.
Committee members discussed flexibility in using designated donations this year (for example, converting donor funds for spill kits into staff hours where grant rules permit) and asked for clarification about what would be available to sustain programming beyond the county-funded year.
The committee will consider letters of support for grant applications and track Steward Moabrequests for match contributions as the nonprofit finalizes its QuickBooks and accounting systems.
