The Willard L. Eccles Charitable Foundation is a family foundation dedicated to carrying on the good works and preserving the memory of its namesake, Willard Eccles. Since its establishment in the 1980s, the foundation has been committed to improving the well-being of communities in Utah and the surrounding Intermountain Area.

With a mission of charitable giving, the foundation has contributed over $40 million to various non-profit organizations in Utah, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Colorado. While the foundation is flexible in meeting a wide range of societal needs, its major areas of interest include education, environmental preservation, social service needs, fostering the basic sciences, and addressing healthcare challenges for the underserved. Currently, the foundation places special emphasis on complex healthcare issues, in alignment with the wishes of Willard Eccles.

If you are involved in a non-profit organization that aligns with the foundation's goals, you can apply for grants during the application window from January 1 to December 31.
