PRIORITIES
This Foundation backs risk takers, hard workers, extraordinary leaders, people who understand service and are working to change Utah’s communities for the better.
Create
CREATE opportunities for upward mobility based on hard work.
Through our Bootstrap initiative we support the doers – the ones who are willing to roll up their sleeves and work. We offer mentoring and financial support to help the advancement of young people who are continuing their formal education or taking a route outside the classroom.
Stewardship
STEWARDSHIP for our western lands and wildlife.
Our Sawmill Stewardship Lab initiative focuses our efforts on partnerships with individuals, nonprofits and other like-minded institutions to leverage and maximize the Intermountain West’s ability to explore, experiment, and memorialize best practices to be the caretakers of our LAND and WILDLIFE that future generations deserve.

- Capture and share generational expertise and big ideas for our western lands and wildlife
- Serve as a laboratory for Intermountain West conservation practices
- Highlight wise use of our natural resources
- Build key partnerships for innovative and durable practices
Amplify
AMPLIFY our civic environment.
Participation is the root of a healthy democracy and thriving communities. In the footprints of his grandpa, Mike has dedicated over a decade to formal public service.
Engaging in civics improves well-being, creates real impact and belonging for everyone. We seek to get more Utahns off the sidelines and highlight those who are doing the critical unseen work.
Give
GIVE support to organizations that are working to better the world around us. We recognize those making a difference and hope to help build our communities by highlighting their remarkable efforts.
It’s what you do next that matters.
