Key Findings of the Utah Museums Association Economic Impact Study
Museums benefit Utah's economy by putting money back into the local economy. In 1994, they spent 19 million dollars in Utah, added 5.97 million in earnings, created 400 jobs and contributed to the tax base, increasing sales, use and income tax revenues by $485,000.
Museums are first and foremost educational institutions, paying an average of $5.71 per student for educational programs and services. 500,000 Utah students from every school district in the state visited a Utah museum in 1994.
Museums serve as an important recreational activity for Utah residents and visitors, attracting 3.6 million people during 1994.
Museums rely on government funding for only 30 percent of their budgets, making museums self-sufficient. The rest of the funding comes from contributions, earned income, etc.
2,809 volunteers contributed 265,143 volunteer hours, making museums a source of community pride. This is a rate much higher than the national average as reported by the American Association of Museums.
