“The organization and board members retain an independent cpa to prepare the form 990. The form 990 is reviewed by the ceo and cfo, and shared with board members and the finance committee. Once board members and the finance committee have sufficient opportunity to review the completed return prepared by the organization's independent cpa, the ceo and cfo authorize the outside cpa to electronically file the form 990.”

“Board members and the ceo routinely review, in the course of regular board meetings, any new relationship and explore any potential conflicts annually, all board members and staff review and sign a conflict of interest statement.”

“The executive committee reviews competitive salary information and recommends a salary for the ceo. The executive committee, with the input of all directors, conducts an annual review and then makes any recommendations for changes to ceo salary to the entire board. The board approves ceo salary recommendations.”

“Our website provides our bylaws, articles of incorporation, investment policy, financial statements, annual report, form 990, and other governing documents. Individuals may also request additional information.”

“The Community Foundation of Utah (CFU) is Utah's partner in philanthropy, pioneering innovation and collaboration to invest in our community today for a brighter tomorrow. CFU seeks the best emerging ideas in philanthropy and partners with individuals, corporations, and foundations to help communities progress. The future needs of the community are unclear; however, CFU has a unique opportunity to positively influence the future of giving by actively engaging all stakeholders in strategic philanthropy. By fostering a collaborative mindset and educating funders and nonprofits on the value of long-term investments and collective funding, we seek to decrease the disparity and gaps in Utah's social sector to meet community needs. Since our establishment in 2008, CFU has facilitated over $600 million in grants to over 11,000 nonprofit organizations in areas as diverse as our fundholders - from arts and culture to animal welfare, and from education to the environment - all to support Utah's social sector. CFU is also a critical partner in community initiatives to strengthen our social impact sector. These include grantmaking and donor engagement initiatives, community leadership programs, and community impact funds. Community Programs: Grantmaking and Donor Engagement - CFU provides donor facilitations centered on identifying core motivational values and engaging donors in meaningful grantmaking. Customized services help clarify guiding principles, develop giving objectives, and create evaluation rubrics for giving. Utah Grantmakers Alliance - CFU facilitates the Utah Grantmakers Alliance, which provides opportunities for grantmakers, private foundations, and donor-advised fundholders to connect with peers and explore strategies for more effective, meaningful, and engaged philanthropy. Invest In Success - Each year, CFU hosts Invest in Success, a week-long leadership development initiative for executive directors and emerging nonprofit leaders. Since 2012, this program has provided capacity-building support for nonprofit organizations across Utah. Qualified organizations often serve low-income populations and face significant barriers of time or discretionary funds to access leadership development opportunities. CFU provides an immersive experience that engages leadership cohorts on organizational strategy, personnel management, organizational finance and sustainability, and change management. Social Sector Sabbatical - CFU believes an organization's ability to attract, develop, and retain exceptional talent is instrumental in driving impact. To strengthen and invest in social sector leadership, CFU developed a Sabbatical program for nonprofit leaders. The Sabbatical program is an immersive experience offering leaders time away from their daily responsibilities to reset, consider bold solutions to persistent challenges, and build collaborative peer relationships. Morgan Stanley Community Development Graduate Fellowship. As part of CFU's broader strategy to attract, develop, and retain top talent in Utah's nonprofit sector, CFU coordinates the Morgan Stanley Community Development Graduate Fellowship. In partnership with Morgan Stanley, CFU pairs six Utah graduate students with local nonprofit organizations for a 10-month Fellowship to develop skills, build networks, and receive hands-on experience in community development work. Community Impact Funds: Great Salt Lake Watershed Enhancement Trust - The Great Salt Lake Watershed Enhancement Trust was formed in response to the water level of the Great Salt Lake hitting a historic low in 2022, threatening the economic, environmental, and public health of Utah. As part of a multifaceted effort to protect the lake, the Utah State Legislature unanimously passed HB 410, authorizing the establishment of a $40 million water trust to enhance water quantity and quality in the Great Salt Lake and create lasting infrastructure to preserve an iconic and invaluable part of our state.
