Ideal Applicant
Organizations or institutions that support college-bound students in Utah—universities, colleges, local scholarship funds, or community organizations running student financial-aid programs.
Good Fit
- • Programs that provide scholarships or direct financial aid to students.
- • Located in Utah or serving a significant population of Utah students.
- • Ability to administer donor-restricted scholarships or partner on a named scholarship.
- • Requests in line with past award sizes (typically under $15K).
Geography
Giving in the latest year is highly geographically concentrated: about 89% of dollars and 80% of grants went to recipients in Utah, with only small out-of-state awards in two other states.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded ten distinct recipients in the observed year, spanning universities and local charities, which indicates a moderate spread for a micro private foundation; however the top five recipients captured most dollars (about 81%) and only one year of history is available.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of multi-year turnover is unavailable because only one year is observed; there is a public application route for the scholarship program (mailed contact, phone number, and a March 1 deadline), but that process appears targeted to student applicants rather than a broad organizational grant application.
