  • Utah Thrives Podcast | Nonprofits in Utah
    Feb 9 2026

    There are more than 12,500 non-profit organizations in Utah, according to data from the Internal Revenue Service. Most of them are very small, with less than $50,000 in annual revenue, though some are much larger. The number is growing and it appears the sector as a whole is flourishing.

    At the request of the Utah Nonprofits Association, the Utah Foundation has just published a report on the state of Utah’s nonprofit sector.

    In this edition of Utah Thrives, we’ll hear a roundtable discussion with Utah Foundation President Shawn Teigen, Research Director Christopher Collard, Research Analyst Ashley Marshall-Cantor, and interns Maren Cottrell, Jaz Landeros, Holden Cheney, Jackson Sheen, and Lucas Souza Rodrigues.

  • Utah Thrives: Social Capital Wrap-up
    Dec 12 2025
    What has all this study and conversation about social capital meant as the Utah Foundation has looked at it from multiple angles? Social capital – defined as the value of relationships in families and the larger community – is an extremely valuable asset, every bit as important as money in the bank for the places and people that have it. Utah Foundation staff looked back on the series of reports about social capital, talking about what it brings to families and communities fortunate enough to claim it.
