HISTORY
OUR MISSION
Orem Community Foundation was founded in 2003 as a means of helping fund the many needs in Orem. We meet this goal by focusing on pillars of funding. This helps us to ensure that we are paying attention to various needs throughout our community, and it also helps us to accept donations that are specific to the donor’s interests. Respectful stewardship of funds is very important to our foundation, so we provide the opportunity for donations to be pinpointed directly to certain pillars, programs, or funding initiatives in order to carry out our donor’s wishes.
To assist the City of Orem in funding vital programs which will have a significant impact on the enrichment and well-being of its residents.
