Ideal Applicant
Established Utah-based nonprofits (education, autism-related programs, faith-affiliated initiatives, or housing/community service groups) with a prior relationship or local credibility and capacity to manage mid-size grants.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Utah or runs substantial programs in Utah.
- • Work aligns with education, autism supports, faith-based services, or local housing/community projects.
- • An existing relationship or warm introduction to the trustees or known grantees.
- • Capacity to manage grants in the five-figure to low six-figure range.
Geography
Observed giving is strongly locally focused: roughly 92% of 2024 grant dollars went to organizations in one state, with only small amounts to two other states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 13 distinct recipients across education, faith-based, autism, housing and community causes and multi-year data show repeat grantees plus new entrants, but dollars are heavily concentrated among the top five recipients.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected organizations and no public submission route or website is visible; although several new grantees appear in the latest year, unfamiliar applicants would likely need an introduction to be considered.
