The Vivian Skaggs Armstrong Foundation concentrates its philanthropy almost exclusively on supporting the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, funding parish and diocesan needs such as facility repairs, improvements, and scholarships. Its grants indicate a clear preference for sustaining Catholic institutional infrastructure and direct support for students within the diocese. The foundation appears locally focused on Salt Lake City-area Catholic entities rather than broader or diverse national causes.
Highly concentrated giving: very few grants directed entirely to a single grantee (repeat awards); large, unrestricted or broadly purposed gifts aimed at capital/maintenance and scholarship funding rather than many small, distributed grants.
