Funds accepting donations from the Public

The Community Foundation of Utah assists nonprofits in creating charitable endowments. When a nonprofit organization houses their endowment with the Community Foundation, they receive value-added services. The Foundation provides investment management, audit and other related services for these funds. We also work with agency boards and staff to help them develop the policies and skills needed to attract planned gifts from their supporters and friends.

You can help grow these endowments with your gift, and ensure that the organizations and causes you care about have a secure future. To make a gift to these funds, please call the foundation at (801) 559-3005.
