About Pi Foundation
The Pi Foundation Inc. functions as a Utah-based donor-advised fund with a clear pattern of directing large charitable grants through a small set of repeat recipients. One of the most distinctive signals in the recent data is its seven-figure support for Lds Church across three years, including $4,498,647 in 2023, $2,671,902 in 2024, and $2,234,364 in 2025. Another major grant went to Raymond James Charitable Endow Fund, which received $12,350,037 in 2023, the largest recent award in the file. The foundation’s giving also reaches community institutions and intermediaries rather than only single-purpose nonprofits. North Logan City received $1,000,000 in 2025, while B H Roberts Foundation, Tifie Humanitarian, and Intermountain Foundation each appear more than once in the recent-grants list. Alongside those larger commitments, the foundation supported education, health, and local charitable work through awards to Granite Education Foundation, Utah State University, Living Planet Inc, Rods Heroes, and Bishop Ward High School. The pattern points to a funder that uses donor-advised vehicles to move substantial capital to organizations across Utah and a limited number of out-of-state recipients.
What Pi Foundation Funds
A major thread in the recent grants is faith-related charitable support. The Pi Foundation Inc. gave $2,234,364 in 2025 to Lds Church, following $2,671,902 in 2024 and $4,498,647 in 2023, showing sustained support over multiple years. Education is another visible area. The foundation awarded $200,000 in 2024 to Granite Education Foundation and $125,000 in 2025 to Leadership Educational Achievement. It also gave $100,000 in 2024 to Utah State University and $70,000 in 2024 to Dell Loy and Julie Hansen Scholars Foundation. Health and community service appear as well. Intermountain Foundation received $252,500 in 2025 and $250,000 in 2024, while Rods Heroes received $250,000 in 2025. In 2024, the foundation also granted $500,000 to Operation Underground Railroad and $250,000 to Living Planet Inc.
How Pi Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $25,000 at the median, and $200,000 at the 75th percentile, which shows a mix of smaller support and much larger awards. The recent-grants list also shows repetition across years: Lds Church, B H Roberts Foundation, Tifie Humanitarian, Intermountain Foundation, Granite Education Foundation, and More Good Foundation each appear more than once. The foundation is a regular donor-advised fund, and the profile describes it as managing charitable contributions on behalf of families and individuals. That structure fits the pattern of multiple grants to the same organizations over time.
