SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. (June 23, 2025) – The Sundt Foundation recently awarded $15,000 in grants to three nonprofits in Utah and Idaho.
“Our grant recipients this quarter represent a variety of causes and missions, and their work is key to building a thriving community,” said Jasen Bennie, Sundt vice president and Intermountain regional manager and Sundt Foundation regional representative.
Living Planet, Inc. has been awarded $5,000 to support its mission to inspire individuals to explore, discover and learn about Earth’s diverse ecosystems. This grant will allow the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium (LLPA) to expand its STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) education initiatives. Funding will provide free and low-cost field trips, outreach programs and teacher workshops.
Family Justice Center Foundation received a $5,000 grant to support Camp Hope Idaho, a program serving children in Canyon County and surrounding areas who have experienced abuse. Camp Hope provides these young survivors with healing outdoor adventures, peer connection, mentorship and life-skills development. By offering a safe, supportive environment where children can build confidence and resilience, the program helps break the cycle of trauma and sets a foundation for long-term emotional recovery. This funding ensures that more children have access to this life-changing experience, fostering a healthier, safer community.
Utah Veterans Alliance was granted $5,000 to further its work honoring and supporting Utah’s veterans through everyday acts of service.
