Partner with us to make a difference in the community.

The Impact Coalition was formed to provide consistent support for nonprofits making positive impacts in our local communities. We specifically wanted to enact change within our Wasatch Front community by supporting all local organizations: CAWS, Utah Clean Energy, Utah Open Lands, VOA of Utah (SLC-only), & the YCC Family Crisis Center (Ogden-only).. By choosing to keep our list of partners small, our impacts can be large for these stellar non-profits.  Now, every Front member has the option to add a recurring donation as small as $1 to their membership, and we match them dollar for dollar.

2024 Donation Goal: $200k

Goal: $200k

In 2023, The Front and its members provided

over $180k in support of local nonprofits!

To date, the Impact Coalition has provided

over $500k to local nonprofits!

2018

The Impact Coalition is founded in May, the first month pulling in a matched $110. (Don’t worry, the donations basically double month over month in 2018 after that!)

2019

Impact Co. events begin, with Utah Clean Energy tabling and earning support at that years’ Climbing Up For Air in partnership with Running Up For Air and Jared Campbell. CAWS begins Fursdays, bringing adoptable animals supported by the Impact Co. to the Salt Lake City Front and to potential new foster parents and adopters.

2020

The Impact Coalition hits $100k of total matched donations in November of 2020, continuing to provide support to our nonprofit partners after a dip in charitable donations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

2022

After hitting the match cap of $40k member contributions in 2021, The Front removes the cap and now matches all Impact Co. donations made by its members.
