Ideal Applicant
A Utah-based nonprofit focused on education, scholarships/skills training, youth development, or local mental-health and community services with demonstrated local impact and capacity to manage mid-size grants.
Good Fit
- • Organization serves Washington County or greater Utah communities.
- • Programs in scholarships, workforce/technical training, youth prevention, or mental-health services.
- • Existing relationship or endorsement from a previously funded local organization.
- • Capacity to absorb awards in the $1K–$125K range and to report outcomes.
Geography
In the latest observed year all grants were made to organizations in Utah, and recent years show a state‑level concentration around St. George/Washington County.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded multiple independent local charities each year (five distinct recipients in 2023 and 2024, eight in 2022), indicating a moderate breadth of grantees rather than a single captive beneficiary.
New Applicants
Filings and the default application indicate funding is limited to preselected applicants (invitation-only); although several new grantees appeared in 2024, there is no public application path, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without introductions or endorsements.
