Community Investment
With thanks to our members, we award $200,000 in grants annually to deserving organizations.
The Dean G. Christensen Community Investment Program provides grants to local non-profit organizations twice per year. An employee committee reviews all applications and then makes recommendations to our Board of Directors who approves grant recipients. Grants ranging generally from $3,000 to $25,000 are awarded, up to a total of $100,000 in each round.
Community Investment Application
The Spring 2019 round of giving is closed. We will begin accepting fall round applications in August. Thank you for your interest.
