Utopia Foundation’s focus on creating a world where communities thrive is achieved by investing in projects and Champions that are creating sustainable improvements in the livelihoods of those in need. Our focus on efficacy means that we engage in communities in many different ways.

• We engage in local and global responses.

• We engage in immediate crisis response as well as enduring efforts, such as early childhood development.

• We use philanthropic approaches to assist those in the greatest need immediately as well as more entrepreneurial-minded approaches, such as micro-enterprise, to help others lift themselves out of poverty permanently.

• We support programs operated by other non-profits as well as administer and run our own programs.

We do all this through our two main programs, fiscal sponsorship or .

Fiscal Sponsorship:

Utopia Foundation supports existing program-oriented organizations that place a high priority on inclusiveness and collaboration, while prioritizing resilience and sustainability in their respective program outcomes through anonymous funding. Currently, Utopia Foundation's donor-base remains anonymous.

We seek donors who are mission-driven and action-minded. While we will share project updates occasionally, it is our priority to give value and attention to our champions and those recipients of each project. We believe that a donor must be intentional in their giving and reflect on their personal why of giving. Any amount is a great contribution to supporting our Champions. For example, $1 will print 1 children's book for a young child.

STEPi:

Squaring the Education Pyramid Institute (STEPi) is the main program of the Utopia Foundation that creates and distributes various resources to the communities in which we operate. Read more about STEPi and the types of resources created here.
