Aligning Your Giving with Your Goals

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.

Whether you are an experienced donor or new to philanthropy, the Community Foundation of Utah (CFU) supports individual, family, and corporate donors in developing customized giving strategies to ensure every gift aligns with your values and impact goals.

Our facilitation process centers on identifying core motivation values to help you find fulfillment in your giving. CFU’s customized services clarify guiding principles, develop giving objectives, and create evaluation rubrics for successful giving. We also facilitate next-generation conversations and broader family or corporate engagement to help you make your gift together.
