Who We Are

Through community-centered philanthropy, the Community Foundation of Utah enables all Utahns to contribute to our community today, ensuring a brighter tomorrow.

 

Philanthropy is so much more than just a transaction; it’s a discipline. The Community Foundation of Utah (CFU) believes in a holistic approach to charitable giving through working with nonprofit organizations, businesses, and individuals to identify and support solutions to the most pressing needs in our community. We serve as a community convener, pioneering innovation and embracing collaboration to support a thriving state, now and for generations to come.

By giving with the Community Foundation of Utah, you are investing in Utah's future. Where most financial organizations act solely as administrators, the Community Foundation of Utah has deep roots and direct experience in our community, actively funding and collaborating with the best organizations striving to improve our state. We cannot predict all of Utah’s future challenges, but we can prepare for them together.
