We are a Utah non-profit focused on community development, which is a fancy way of saying that we believe that when neighbors show up for each other, cities get stronger.
Homes become more stable. Kids become leaders. Visitors feel safe and supported. Businesses thrive. Streets are more welcoming.
Cities Strong Foundation is a Utah-based organization focused on bringing cities, nonprofits, faith communities, businesses, schools, and residents together to strengthen neighborhoods through joyful, coordinated service.
We love Utah and its people. We want to strengthen our cities by serving as the backbone organization to facilitate joyful community development and place-based service.
We believe that connecting neighbors with one another and the right resources can increase opportunities and build lasting community resilience. We unite communities and focus where we can make the most impact.
Service is more than charity. It is an investment in people and neighborhoods, and instead of competing for attention or resources, we multiply them.
We make communities stronger from the inside out by mobilizing residents, volunteers, and strategic partners with shared zip codes for local impact.
Connecting volunteers to local service opportunities. Aligning cities, nonprofits, businesses, and churches around shared goals. Supporting neighborhood community centers through myHometown.
We fund critical resources and help make sure every hour served, every dollar given, and every partnership goes further to support neighborhoods.
Strong cities are built locally. Cities Strong Foundation helps multiply community investments to transform volunteers and donations into sustained impact for neighborhoods.
Lasting change doesn’t happen through isolated programs. It happens when neighborhoods take ownership, service pathways are simple and welcoming, and institutions collaborate rather than compete.
We are rooted in communities along Utah’s Wasatch Front — working city by city, neighborhood by neighborhood — so impact is personal, visible, and lasting.
This is neighbors helping neighbors, not charity from a distance.
We bring together people and institutions who might not otherwise collaborate to work toward shared local success and support.
Our work is place-based and data-informed. We focus on cities with the most need, using local insight to guide action.
When service feels welcoming, hopeful, and meaningful, people return. Communities grow stronger, together.
Our goals and success are measured by outcomes:
We help neighborhoods shift from scattered efforts to shared momentum.
We exist to strengthen the ecosystem — not replace it.
Cities Strong Foundation operates in regions along Utah’s Wasatch Front—Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Ogden, Layton, Provo, Orem, and Santaquin.
Our commitment is simple:
Cities Strong Foundation is directed by a dedicated group of volunteer business, faith, and education leaders who are passionate about making our communities special places to live.
