RLC Family Foundation makes large, targeted gifts to a very small number of local nonprofits, prioritizing civic/public-society initiatives and hands-on social service programs in the Salt Lake City area. Their grants are unrestricted cash donations, suggesting a trust-based approach that supports organizations’ core operations rather than project-restricted funding.
Highly concentrated giving: few, large one-time or annual unrestricted grants to local organizations rather than many small awards or a broad geographic spread.
The Policy Project, The Other Side Village
RLC Family Foundation’s recent giving is defined by large unrestricted checks to a small set of Utah nonprofits, with The Policy Project receiving $675,000 in 2025 and The Other Side Village receiving $270,000 that same year. Those gifts point to a pattern of support for civic/public-society work and direct services in Salt Lake City and nearby communities. The foundation also backed abuse-prevention and recovery organizations, including Prevent Child Abuse Utah, Utah Domestic Violence Coalition, Saprea, and The Dove Center, alongside education and social-service groups such as Granite Education Foundation and Family Support Center. The grants are listed as general cash donations, which suggests flexible support for organizational operations rather than narrowly defined projects. The foundation’s portfolio shows repeated support for several groups across multiple years, including The Policy Project, Dahlias Hope, Prevent Child Abuse Utah, The Dove Center, Utah Domestic Violence Coalition, One Refugee, and Danielle Bryon Henry Migraine Foundation. That repetition, combined with seven-figure annual grantmaking and a median grant size of $75,000, places the foundation in a pattern of concentrated, high-trust philanthropy focused on local institutions.
A major thread in the foundation’s work is abuse prevention and survivor support. In 2025, it gave $215,000 to Prevent Child Abuse Utah, while also supporting Utah Domestic Violence Coalition with $150,000 and The Dove Center with $100,700 for related services. Mental health is another active area. The foundation awarded $145,250 to Saprea for mental health-related support and $80,000 to Wasatch Forensic Nurses, reflecting a regional emphasis on trauma-informed services and counseling resources. It also supports civic and family-facing organizations. The Policy Project received $225,000 in 2024 and $675,000 in 2025, and Family Support Center received $150,000 in 2025. In education, Granite Education Foundation was awarded $200,000 in 2024 and $102,500 in 2023.
Typical grants cluster at the upper end of nonprofit operating support: the 25th percentile is $50,000, the median is $75,000, and the 75th percentile is $122,500. The recent record shows repeated awards to several organizations across 2023 to 2025, including The Policy Project, Prevent Child Abuse Utah, Dahlias Hope, The Dove Center, Utah Domestic Violence Coalition, One Refugee, and Danielle Bryon Henry Migraine Foundation. Grants are recorded as general cash donations, consistent with unrestricted support. The foundation is a Regular Funder and accepts unsolicited applications in its listed program areas.
