Our Initiatives
The Community Foundation of Utah engages giving minds. Our social and entrepreneurial initiatives are innovative and ambitious - like the entrepreneurial spirit that permeates Utah.
- Our Chautauqua are are nonpartisan events to encourage civic dialogue through lectures, discussion and learning. President Theodore Roosevelt called Chautauqua "the most American thing in America."
- We bring together the energies and ideas of social and for profit entrepreneurs in groundbreaking ways.
- We partner with universities to give the next generation of leaders the opportunity to create real change, right here in Utah.
- We use new forms of investment, such as Program Related Investments and our Social Enterprise Fund to bring capital to promising ventures that have a social and financial return.
In short, we are a catalyst for social and for-profit entrepreneurs to take calculated risks, gain new networks and drive innovation, together. Join us.
