You love Utah - and so do we

The Community Foundation of Utah is a tool to help individuals, families, corporations, nonprofits, government organizations, and community leaders gather assets and ideas that will serve Utah for good and forever.

• We are local. Our foundation is based in Utah. We are a tax-exempt public charity created by and for the people of our state.
• We leverage.  We multiply the impact of every donation by pooling them with other gifts, providing the benefit of a large foundation's assets for every level of donor..
• We are donor focused. We offer creative, cost-effective and tax-efficient ways to invest in Utah.
• We drive social innovation. We invest in social entrepreneurship, invest in ideas with the potential for deep impact, and draw on Utah's unique strength as a center of innovation.
• We are sustainable philanthropy. We provide leadership and problem solving now, and help ensure the long term health of Utah with a permanent endowment.
• We are inclusive. We make it possible for all levels of donors to invest in the current and future needs of our state through a collaborative and platform that focuses the full capacity of our citizens to address public problems, together.
• We are forward thinking. We help nonprofits build and create sustainable businesses to reduce dependence on donations.
• We engage giving minds. We facilitate partnerships so donors and nonprofits benefit from each other's expertise, not just their contribution.
