Ideal Applicant
A Utah-based nonprofit working on suicide prevention or mental-health supports for children, families, and schools with local relationships or referral pathways to the foundation.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on youth suicide prevention or school-based mental-health supports.
- • Demonstrated service or presence in Utah and local community partnerships.
- • Established relationships or referrals from organizations already funded by the foundation.
- • Ability to show measurable prevention outcomes and partnership readiness with schools or family services.
Geography
Across the observed years grant dollars are almost entirely directed to organizations in Utah; only a single small out-of-state grant appears in 2022.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded multiple independent recipients in 2022 (about ten), fewer in 2023 (three), and only one in 2024, so historical breadth exists but recent activity has narrowed.
New Applicants
Although a public grants inquiry form and contact email are available, filings and site language indicate grants are made to preselected applicants, and recent years show no evidence of new entrants into the portfolio.
