Ideal Applicant
Small-to-medium nonprofits working in health, education, disaster relief or local community services, particularly those able to demonstrate clear program impact and submit a concise mailed letter application.
Good Fit
- • Work clearly aligns with health, education, or disaster-relief priorities.
- • Ability to accept modest to mid-sized grants and to document program impact.
- • Local presence or partnership in Utah increases likelihood for smaller grants by count.
- • Willingness to follow the stated mailed-letter application process and provide clear budget information.
- • New or recent organizations with a concrete, time-limited project (the foundation funds many new grantees).
Geography
Grants in the latest year reached recipients in 12 states, showing a multi-state footprint, though dollars were heavily concentrated in one out‑of‑state DAF recipient.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 64 distinct recipients with a high new-recipient rate (48 new grantees), and portfolio purposes span health, education and disaster relief, indicating broad recipient variety for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of many new grantees in 2024 plus an explicit application route on the website and contact info support a high likelihood that unfamiliar applicants can enter the portfolio.
