Ideal Applicant
A small-to-mid sized nonprofit, especially in Utah, focused on animal welfare, youth development, epilepsy/health education, or home/terminal care seeking general operating support in the $5k–$25k range and able to apply through an online portal.
Good Fit
- • Primary programs in animal welfare, youth intervention, epilepsy education, or terminal home care.
- • Demonstrated service or presence in Utah (or nearby Mountain West communities).
- • Requesting general operating support within the foundation’s typical award size.
- • Ability to meet an annual application deadline and submit via CyberGrants.
- • Clear local impact or partnerships with Utah-based providers.
Geography
Giving is regionally concentrated: three states received grants in 2024 but about 80% of dollars were directed to Utah, indicating a mainly local/regional footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded nine distinct organizations in 2024 and has funded 9–10 different recipients each year across three years, with a mix of independent charities in animal welfare, youth services and health.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness exists: a public online application process (CyberGrants) with a published July 31 deadline and substantial new-recipient rates in recent years (about 67% new in 2024 and 70% new in 2023) suggest unfamiliar applicants can realistically enter the portfolio.
