The Obert C. Tanner Lecture Trust directs virtually all of its funding to the University of Utah, supporting higher-education activities tied to the Trust’s lecture and academic mission. Its giving is tightly focused on a single institutional partner—likely underwriting lectureships, public humanities programming, or other university educational initiatives. The foundation appears to prioritize sustaining flagship university academic and cultural offerings in Salt Lake City.
Highly concentrated: very few, relatively large grants all directed to a single recurring grantee (University of Utah), suggesting long-term, targeted support rather than broad, diversified funding.
