DIVERSE POPULATION GROWTH SINCE 2010
Nearly 40% of statewide population growth over the last decade is from racially and ethnically diverse communities. We work with state-wide partners to create thriving environments in the face of a changing demographic landscape.
PERCENTAGE OF DIVERSE POPULATION IN UTAH
We pride ourselves in serving Utah's racially and ethnically diverse communities, which make up 22% of the state's total population. In this work, we build proximity with communities and foster open spaces for dialogue to address intersectional experiences that include gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, language, and disability.
OUR PARTNERS IN THIS WORK
With over 50 partners spanning from government, non-profits, philanthropists, and other private and public sectors, we commit to advancing opportunity in collaborative ways.
The State of Equity in Utah
Equity Learning Resources
We believe that education builds awareness and can create the understanding necessary to identify solutions and unify efforts in a collaborative way.
How We Engage Communities
We prioritize engagement opportunities by interacting with community groups, government-oriented organizations, and ongoing initiatives to build trusting relationships, feedback loops, and co-create solutions to community needs.
