The Utah Association of 
Public Schools Foundations 
is dedicated to building and strengthening a statewide community
of K-12 education foundations.  
The UAPSF strengthens key areas of foundation management by providing pertinent and timely information through educational resources, tools, camaraderie, and guidance to advance the development of sustainable K-12 education foundation success in the State of Utah.  

The active organization believes school foundation growth and development is vitally important to the welfare and success of public education in the State of Utah.

Without a foundation and its presence in the community, donors often overlook the school and its financial needs.
