About Usana Kids Eat
Usana Kids Eat centers its grantmaking on a specific need: food bags for hungry school children across Utah. The largest recent award in the data, $117,041 to Stansbury Elementary in 2025, reflects a pattern of direct support delivered through schools rather than broad, unrestricted philanthropy. The foundation’s grants are tied to the practical rhythm of the school year, with funding used to provide food bags for children who may not have enough to eat when school meals are unavailable. That school-linked model appears repeatedly in the recent grants list. Monroe Elementary in West Valley City received $76,964 in 2025, while Highland High in Salt Lake City received $47,430 the same year. Other recipients include Oquirrh Elementary, Majestic Elementary, and DDI Vantage Head Start, showing that the foundation works through a mix of elementary schools, a high school, and early-childhood service settings. Its public profile also emphasizes community partnerships, volunteer opportunities, and local sponsorships as part of the effort to address childhood hunger in Utah.
What Usana Kids Eat Funds
Usana Kids Eat’s giving is tightly aligned with child food security and school-based support. In elementary school settings, it gave $59,019 to Oquirrh Elementary in West Jordan for food bags for hungry school children, and $50,046 to Majestic Elementary in the same city for the same purpose. These grants show a recurring emphasis on taking food home with students rather than serving it only on campus. The foundation also supports secondary and early-childhood settings. Highland High in Salt Lake City received $47,430 in 2025 for food bags for hungry school children, and DDI Vantage Head Start in Millcreek received $39,878 for the same purpose. The grant descriptions point to a direct-service approach focused on weekend and break-period nutrition support, which matches the foundation’s stated work around backpack food programs and holiday food bags.
How Usana Kids Eat Gives
Typical grants cluster in the low tens of thousands: p25 is $8,923, median grant size is $13,526, and p75 is $22,422. The recent awards list also shows much larger program payments to schools, including five-figure grants above that range. The pattern appears recurring rather than one-time, with multiple recipients funded in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and several schools appearing more than once across years. Usana Kids Eat is a public charity, funds individuals: false, and makes no program-related investments. Its active programs accept unsolicited requests for the Weekend Bag Program and the Holiday Bag Project.
