Utah's nonprofit sector in {current_year} is a dynamic part of the state's high-growth economy, characterized by a unique culture of volunteerism and charitable giving. Nonprofits are focused on managing the pressures of rapid population growth, including air quality, water conservation, and affordable housing.

Funding in Utah is anchored by a mix of strong community foundations, a dominant state-wide private foundation, and significant corporate philanthropy. Corporate giving from the state's "Silicon Slopes" tech industry is a rapidly growing force, as is funding from the large integrated healthcare systems.

To secure nonprofit grants in Utah, organizations should connect with the Utah Nonprofits Association (UNA). The most effective strategy is to build a "blended" funding model, which means building relationships with the major legacy foundations while also actively seeking partnerships with the state's new generation of tech-industry philanthropists.
