SALT LAKE CITY (November 22, 2019) – The Sundt Foundation awarded $17,000 to three Salt Lake City nonprofits during its fourth-quarter disbursements.
“This quarter marks the Intermountain Region’s largest quarter in grant distributions to date, which provided grants to three different organizations supporting disadvantaged children,” said Dustin Murphy, Sundt Foundation board member. “It’s exciting to watch Sundt’s presence in Utah continue to grow as well as our contributions to communities in this region.”
