Dedicated to driving meaningful change through impact investing and philanthropy; sponsors donor-advised funds, field-of-interest funds, community funds, and provides fiscal sponsorship and philanthropic advisory services.
University Impact’s recent grantmaking is marked by very large transfers to faith-related organizations and by support for higher education, especially Brigham Young University and related campus efforts. In the top grant list, seven- and eight-figure awards appear alongside smaller project grants, showing a structure that ranges from major institutional support to targeted program funding. The foundation also uses program-related investments, which fits its broader role as a funder that combines philanthropy with impact investing and advisory services. Recent grants show a strong mix of religious giving and education-related support. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints received multiple large awards across 2023–2025, including grants labeled tithing and fast offerings, while Brigham Young University received support for organization-level needs. University Impact also appears in higher education beyond its core campus ties, with awards to institutions such as The Oswego College Foundation and Washington & Lee University. Alongside these institutional grants, the portfolio includes community and charitable recipients such as Safe Harbor Crisis Center and B H Roberts Foundation, indicating that the foundation funds both mission-linked and broader charitable work.
Faith-based giving is a central theme. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints received $14,561,924 in 2024 for tithing, and another grant of $8,295,196 in 2023 was labeled tithing and fast offerings. Higher education is another clear area. Brigham Young University received $1,984,200 in 2025 to support organization-level needs, while The Oswego College Foundation received $322,500 in 2024 for DEI and Practice Center support. University Impact also backed Washington & Lee University with $325,112 in 2023. The foundation’s portfolio includes international development and charitable community work as well. Mentors International received $333,219 in 2024 for a loan fund primarily tied to Honduras, and Safe Harbor Crisis Center received $577,264 in 2023 for donation support. Environmental giving also appears through Southern Highlands Reserve Inc, which received multiple grants across 2024 and 2025.
Typical grant size sits at a p25 of $10,000, a median of $21,000, and a p75 of $49,584, though the recent list also includes several much larger institutional awards. University Impact gives nationally, and the recipient list shows repeated support for some organizations across multiple years, including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Southern Highlands Reserve Inc, and B H Roberts Foundation. The foundation is classified as a regular funder, funds individuals: false, and makes program-related investments: true. Its structure also includes donor-advised funds, field-of-interest funds, community funds, fiscal sponsorship, and philanthropic advisory services.
