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 program, Squaring the Education Pyramid Institute (STEPi).

AREAS OF IMPACT

Utopia Foundation is not a grant making foundation; our partnerships are relationship-oriented. We choose to support local champions who are striving to make a sustainable, long-term impact in their communities. We are on the ground, actively involved program implementers with our team and partners, communities, universities, grant-making NGOs, philanthropists, and schools we work with. Utopia Foundation is about getting things done with a focus on the following areas:

• Education

• Environmental conservation

• Early childhood education

• Sustainable community advancement

• Purposeful economic development that creates jobs and resilience.
