We believe philanthropy can create a better tomorrow for Utah. Along the way, we also believe it is special, fun, impactful, easy, meaningful, tax efficient, life changing, effective, exciting and lasting.
The Community Foundation offers services to connect the dots between donors, tax advisers, nonprofits, and philanthropic initiatives.
Utahns are known for our generosity. But how can we do the most good with our gifts? With so many worthy causes and ways to define the impact of giving, this question is not always simple to answer.
It is important to feel your legacy is in good hands. At the Community Foundation of Utah we connect with donors over shared values and interests, working toward a common goal: make the world a better place. We cultivate rich relationships with our fundholders based on the belief that we are all in this together.
Initial resources have been set up to support our neighbors in California during this incredibly difficult time. Community foundations across California are activating rapid response funds to help those impacted by the devastating wildfires that have displaced so many in and around Los Angeles. Donors who are interested in supporting community-based efforts are encouraged to contribute to the following community foundation-led funds:
California Community Foundation's fund will provide long-term recovery relief to the most underserved communities in the region that need it most, including the Native American, Muslim, migrant and non-native English-speaking communities – as well as children, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. These community foundations will help bridge financial gaps by collaborating with local foundations and nonprofit organizations that are already providing emergency aid to wildfire survivors and first responders. Other resources, including links to the local Habitat for Humanity, California Fire Foundation, World Central Kitchen and more can be found here.
