Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize Utah-based nonprofit providing human services, health care access, youth or food security programs, or local education/public media initiatives with an existing local reputation or connections to the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Located in Utah or able to demonstrate a clear local connection to Utah communities.
- • Provides services in human services, low-income health clinics, homeless youth support, food banks, or community childcare.
- • Asks for grant sizes in the observed $5K–$60K range.
- • Has an existing relationship, local visibility, or a referrer within the foundation's network.
Geography
Observed giving is highly state-focused: 94% of dollars and 89% of grant count went to Utah recipients, with only a single out-of-state (Vermont) grant in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded nine distinct organizations across health, food security, homeless youth services, childcare, and public media, showing a moderately diverse portfolio for a small private foundation; this conclusion is limited to the single observed tax year.
New Applicants
The foundation's records and application notes indicate it supports preselected grantees and there is no public application route or contact information visible; because only one year is observed, long-term turnover cannot be tested, but the declared preselection policy and lack of contact routes make entry by an unfamiliar applicant unlikely.
