From the Community, For the Community: The Heartbeat of Heber Valley
Heber Valley, Utah, September 25, 2024 – In 2000, a dedicated group of volunteers in Heber Valley came together with a shared vision: to create a better future for their community. They established the Wasatch Community Foundation (WCF) with a guiding principle that continues to inspire: “From the community, for the community.” This mantra embodies WCF’s commitment to addressing local needs and supporting other nonprofits in their fundraising efforts.
For the past 24 years, the WCF has grown into one of the largest volunteer organizations in Heber Valley. As a thriving 501(c)(3), the foundation has become a beacon of community spirit and generosity. Through careful evaluation, the WCF Board of Directors supports local projects with funding, complementary programs, and volunteer efforts, touching countless lives. This collaborative approach has resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding and thousands of volunteer hours dedicated to impactful causes right here in Wasatch County.
Building an Extraordinary Community
WCF’s mission is to build an extraordinary community by uniting resources and programs to enhance the well-being of Wasatch County residents. Guided by its five key pillars—Human Services, Health, Education, Recreation, and Arts—WCF strives to create a thriving, connected, and vibrant community where individuals of all ages can lead happy, healthy lives.
