Ideal Applicant
A Utah-based or Utah-serving nonprofit (health, food security, youth development, community service or faith-related) that can be nominated or introduced for a discretionary, typically small-to-mid sized grant.
Good Fit
- • Program work focused on health, food banks, youth or community services in Utah.
- • Clear local partners or intermediaries who can introduce or nominate the organization.
- • A funding request in the typical small grant range (many awards under $10k; occasional larger gifts).
- • Capacity to respond to a rolling, invitation-driven process with concise impact materials.
Geography
Grants in the latest year reached seven states (and an international entry appears in earlier filings), so the footprint is multi-state in reach even though most dollars—about 82% in 2024—flowed to Utah.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 12 distinct grantees and a high rate of new recipients (11 of 12), and across three years the foundation funded many different organizations rather than a tiny recurring circle.
New Applicants
Direct public application routes are absent and the foundation states it funds only preselected recipients, so unsolicited applicants lack a clear submission path; however, behavioral evidence shows a high rate of new grantees across observed years, indicating new entrants can join mainly via nomination or relationship channels.
