Ideal Applicant
Established Utah-based charities (and occasional larger regional partners) working in education, health, arts, community services or basic needs, with demonstrated community impact and organizational capacity.
Good Fit
- • Strong local (Utah) presence or partnerships in Utah communities.
- • Requests for general operating or program support tied to education, health, arts, food security, or homelessness.
- • Track record of impact and financial stewardship appropriate for mid-to-large grants.
- • Existing relationships or introductions to foundation staff, donors, or board members.
Geography
Across 2022–2023 the foundation funded recipients in many states (dozens of states were represented), though the largest share historically went to Utah; the most recent year was fully concentrated in Utah.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded hundreds of distinct organizations in 2022 and 2023 (over 200 recipients each year), indicating a broad and diverse recipient set despite a one-off concentrated distribution in the latest year.
New Applicants
Direct application guidelines were not found, but past years show many new recipients (about 135 new recipients in 2023), suggesting unfamiliar applicants have been able to access funding historically; the latest-year single large grant makes current openness unclear.
