Amplify Utah’s
Arts and Culture

The arts bring our community together; it helps foster creativity in young students, and inspires them to expand their horizons. Participation creates a sense of belonging, and we want to give everyone, no matter their socioeconomic status, the opportunity to experience the arts. We support those who bring the arts to people without access or means. Learn More →

We aim to

Affirm the Dignity of Individuals

We believe individuals are the ones with the power to make a true difference in our community. By affirming the dignity of individuals, we empower them to live their vision without limitations. We grant individuals support regardless of their station in life, for dignity is given to all, and all are deserving; it is not determined by worthiness. Learn More →

What We Fund

We try to be attune to the community’s needs and work hard to discover projects that exemplify our mission and seek collaboration opportunities with other like minded organizations. Our primary mission is to give resources to help individual teachers, students, doctors with ideas, and organizational employees who need economical support. When we give, we want to focus on how our giving helps the individual within an organization, not merely the organization as a whole.

How We Fund

We are an invitation-only foundation. Our team is small, and we do not have the ability to read through individual grants submitted. For this reason, we work hard to discover outstanding individuals in our community who are making a difference that might go unnoticed by other foundations.

We aim to find individuals who are working towards improving our community, making education more accessible and empowering teachers, helping affirm the dignity of individuals, amplifying Utah’s arts and culture, protecting our environment through conservation and preservation, and providing care within our wellness industries.
