Ideal Applicant
Small or mid-sized Utah-based nonprofits (or occasional out-of-state partners) working in education, health, human services, food security, or community/athletic programs that can accept modest, mostly unrestricted awards and submit a brief written request.
Good Fit
- • Located in Utah or serving Utah communities.
- • Program alignment with education, medical/health needs, food security, or general human services.
- • Request size in the small-to-midsize range (typical grants often under $25K).
- • Willingness to apply by mailed written statement and to follow a simple, recurring deadline.
- • Local visibility or track record of community impact.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Utah (about 92% of 2024 dollars) with only a small out‑of‑state share; two states appear in the latest year but the footprint is essentially local to Utah.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 9 recipients in 2022, 11 in 2023 and 15 in 2024, with many distinct and independent organizations and a high new-recipient count in 2024 (10 new grantees), indicating a broad recipient set despite dollar concentration to a few beneficiaries.
New Applicants
A clear application route exists (written statement to a named contact, monthly deadline) and behavioral evidence shows a high proportion of new grantees in recent years (about two-thirds of 2024 recipients were new), suggesting unfamiliar applicants have a realistic path into the portfolio.
