The Donnell B & Elizabeth D Stewart Education Foundation directs its philanthropic resources exclusively to Weber State University in Ogden, UT, providing large, unrestricted gifts that support the institution broadly. With three grants totaling roughly $5.1 million, the foundation appears focused on strengthening local public higher education and the university’s capacity to serve students and the surrounding community.
Highly concentrated: few large grants to a single repeat grantee (Weber State University), indicating targeted, high-dollar support for one local higher-education institution rather than diversified giving.
Three annual grants to Weber State University anchor the Donnell B & Elizabeth D Stewart Education Foundation’s giving: $1,576,500 in 2023, $1,660,443 in 2024, and $1,864,136 in 2025, each listed for general charitable purpose. That pattern points to a funder that supports one central institution with large, flexible gifts rather than a wide portfolio of small, restricted awards. The foundation’s recent grant record also shows additional support for Ogden-area community organizations, including Onstage Ogden and the Treehouse Museum, suggesting a local emphasis that extends beyond the university. The foundation’s grant history is heavily centered on Ogden and nearby Weber County institutions, with recipients that include schools, arts groups, museums, libraries, and human services organizations. Several grantees appear in multiple years, which indicates ongoing relationships rather than isolated transactions. At the same time, the grants are described broadly as general charitable purpose, so the foundation’s role looks more like a flexible local patron than a program-specific grantmaker. Its latest 990 year on file is 2025, and its annual grants given total $7,291,779.
Higher education is the clearest theme. Weber State University received the foundation’s largest recent grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, all for general charitable purpose. Arts and culture also appear regularly. Onstage Ogden received $120,000 in 2023, $132,000 in 2024, and $140,000 in 2025, while the Treehouse Museum received $126,250 in 2023 and 2024 and $127,500 in 2025. Local education support extends beyond the university. The Ogden School Foundation received $80,000 in 2023, $70,000 in 2024, and $55,000 in 2025. The Weber School District Foundation also appears in the recent record with a 2025 grant of $32,500. Community-serving organizations are present as well, including the Boys and Girls Club of Northern Utah, United Way of Northern Utah, and Humane Society of Northern Utah.
Typical grant size is modest relative to the foundation’s largest awards: the 25th percentile is $1,000, the median is $5,000, and the 75th percentile is $10,000. The recent record shows a mix of very large institutional grants and many smaller community grants. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Weber State University, Onstage Ogden, the Treehouse Museum, the Ogden School Foundation, Peery’s Egyptian Foundation, and Enable Utah, which points to recurring support rather than one-time gifts. The foundation is not structured as an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments.

Notable grantees: Weber State University
Grantmaking is overwhelmingly local. Utah accounts for 86% of grants, and the recipient country distribution is entirely U.S.-based. Ogden is the main city in the record, with repeated grants to Weber State University, Onstage Ogden, the Treehouse Museum, the Ogden School Foundation, Peery’s Egyptian Foundation, the Weber County Library, and others. Nearby Utah recipients include Brigham City, Washington Terrace, and Roy. Outside Utah, a 2024 grant went to Your Community Connection in Alamogordo, New Mexico.
The recent record centers on Weber State University, along with Ogden-area education, arts, and community organizations. Examples include Onstage Ogden, the Treehouse Museum, the Ogden School Foundation, United Way of Northern Utah, and the Weber County Library, all listed as general charitable purpose grants.
Yes. Several grantees appear in multiple years: Weber State University received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025; Onstage Ogden in 2023, 2024, and 2025; the Treehouse Museum in 2023, 2024, and 2025; and the Ogden School Foundation in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
The grant-size distribution is $1,000 at the 25th percentile, $5,000 at the median, and $10,000 at the 75th percentile. That sits alongside much larger institutional awards, including seven-figure grants to Weber State University.
Its giving is local and Utah-centered. Utah recipients make up 86% of grants, and the recent list is dominated by Ogden organizations, with additional Utah recipients in Brigham City, Washington Terrace, and Roy. The only non-Utah grant in the recent list went to Alamogordo, New Mexico.
