Utah Children

Somewhere in Utah today, a child is growing up who could one day lead this nation. Maybe they're in a classroom in Ogden, a home in rural San Juan County, or an apartment in Salt Lake City. We don't know who they are yet, but we do know this: every single one of them deserves a champion.

Right now, 66,000 Utah children have no health insurance. Nearly 80,000 are growing up in poverty. They are navigating hunger, hardship, and uncertainty before they're old enough to even understand why. Those numbers are hard to sit with. They should be.

For four decades, Voices for Utah Children has been the trusted, nonpartisan voice asking one simple question in everything we do: "Is it good for ALL kids?" Not just those born into the right zip code, the right family, or the right circumstances. Every child. Every time.

That question drives everything we do. From protecting the Medicaid and CHIP programs that more than 200,000 Utah children depend on, to expanding early learning and childcare, to helping families of every background navigate the justice system with dignity, we research, advocate, and hold the line. We make sure Utah's children are never an afterthought.

This Utah Gives Day, you can be part of the progress. Every gift, no matter the size, funds the research, the relationships, and the advocacy that turns hard numbers into better futures. You don't have to solve everything. You just have to help us keep the progress going. Show up for our kids and help shape futures. 

Thanks to all of your generosity, we met our original goal of $5,000 with the help of our anonymous donor match! Our anonymous donor is now challenging us to go even further, by increasing their match from $2,500 to $5,000. So we thank everyone who has already given, and if you haven't yet...will you be a champion for Utah's children? Every dollar you give will be matched, up to $5,000, by an anonymous donor. Give today and double your impact!
