Impact Coalition
Give as little as $1 a month.
We'll match every dollar.
Every dollar you give, we match
The Impact Coalition gives steady, monthly support to local nonprofits making a difference along the Wasatch Front. We keep our list of partners small so our impact can be large.
Add a recurring donation to your membership, as little as $1 a month, and The Front matches it dollar for dollar.

- Utah Open Lands also partnered with the Snyderville Basin Recreation District to complete the final segment of a long-awaited connection to the Mid Mountain Trail.

- Great Salt Lake Wetlands
- Utah Open Lands is also working to preserve nearly 1,000 acres of habitat and wetlands along the shores of the Great Salt Lake. The project would permanently protect 450 acres of wetland mitigation land and an additional 500 acres owned by the Airport that are not yet permanently protected.

Read the Q3 2026 update
- During FY25–26, the YRC served 511 unduplicated youth, exceeding its goal of 450, and provided 16,881 nights of safe shelter, exceeding its goal of 14,000. In addition, 87% of youth who stayed in shelter for seven days or longer received housing-focused case management, surpassing the program’s 80% goal. Twenty-six youth moved directly from shelter into permanent housing, while 139 youth received support through YRC housing services.
- The upcoming quarter is especially critical as we enter the winter season, when access to safe, consistent shelter becomes even more essential for young people experiencing homelessness. FCC funding will help the Youth Resource Center maintain its 50-bed, year-round emergency shelter and continue providing housing-focused services while advancing our FY26–27 goals.
- As temperatures drop, FCC’s continued investment helps ensure young people have a safe, warm place to turn while also receiving the individualized support they need to move beyond crisis toward stable housing and greater independence.
