UTAHGIVES

UTAHGIVES is a celebration of giving, an opportunity for Utahns to open their hearts and come together to support the nonprofits that make our communities thrive. Whether you're passionate about protecting public lands, feeding families, uplifting the arts, or empowering youth—this is your chance to show up, give back, and make a difference. Through a 24-hour online giving campaign, UTAHGIVES will engage community members and local businesses to donate to the causes and nonprofits that matter most to them, amplifying charitable giving across the state. Participating nonprofits will launch online giving campaigns through the UTAHGIVES platform, where donors can easily discover, learn about, and contribute to causes they care about. Friendly competition, matching gifts, and a public leaderboard will further encourage donations and engagement. Utah Nonprofits Association will provide toolkits, training, and marketing support to help nonprofits maximize their fundraising success. Register by April 16, 2026. https://www.utahgives.org/
