About the Community Foundation of Utah
The Community Foundation of Utah is a tool to help individuals, families, corporations, nonprofits, government 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, from Donor Advised Funds to permanent endowments.
- We drive innovation. We foster and invest in ideas with the potential for deep impact, and draw on Utah's unique strength as a center of entrepreneurship.
- We are sustainable philanthropy. We provide leadership and problem solving now, and help ensure the long term health of Utah through endowments.
- We are inclusive. We represent the diverse interests of our state and are committed to bringing the full capacity of our citizens to address public problems, together.
- We engage giving minds. We are a catalyst for social and for profit entrepreneurs to take calculated risks, gain new networks, and drive innovation - together.
Our goal is to make the charitable giving process more simple, the work of investing more meaningful.
