Ideal Applicant
An established Utah-based nonprofit or higher-education institution with an existing relationship or credible introduction, working on education, athletics, faith-based, or health-related programs and able to manage institutional-level grants.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Utah or delivers substantial services in Utah.
- • Organization is a university, college foundation, school district foundation, or similarly established institution.
- • Existing relationship, prior grantee status, or referral from a recurring recipient.
- • Programs focused on education, athletics, religious community support, or medical/charitable causes.
- • Capacity to accept larger, institution-focused grants (e.g., six-figure or large program gifts).
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Utah (about 94% of dollars) though small out-of-state gifts appear in New York and DC; three states are represented but the footprint is overwhelmingly in-state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 10 distinct recipients including multiple independent universities, foundations, and national charities, so the recipient set is moderately broad for the foundation’s size despite strong dollar concentration to a few anchors.
New Applicants
Across three years the foundation adds only about one new grantee per year and nine of ten 2024 recipients were returning grantees; combined with the foundation’s stated 'preselected only' application stance and no public application portal, unfamiliar applicants appear unlikely to enter the portfolio.
