Ideal Applicant
Established Utah-based organizations (including universities, community foundations, and housing or education nonprofits) with track records in education, scholarships, affordable housing, or community development and with existing local relationships or referrals.
Good Fit
- • Primary programs focused on education, scholarships, affordable housing, or sustainable community projects in Utah.
- • Existing partnerships with Utah higher-education institutions or community intermediaries.
- • Organizational capacity to manage large multi-year or general operating grants.
- • A referral, prior relationship, or program alignment that could lead to a foundation invitation.
Geography
Grant dollars are heavily concentrated in Utah (about 96% of dollars in the latest year) despite a handful of out-of-state awards; the observed footprint is effectively local to the state.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded roughly 61 distinct recipients in the latest year with steady turnover (about 23 new recipients in 2024), indicating a broad and diverse recipient set even though a few large grants take a large share of dollars.
New Applicants
Behavior shows meaningful new-recipient entry each year (around 38% new in 2024), but the website and application notes state grants are by invitation or preselection, so unfamiliar applicants are not likely to access funding through an open submission process.
