The Event Partnership program is designed to provide financial support and exposure to local non-profit events that serve to empower women and/or girls in Utah. Our hope is to generate greater impact for established events and trigger new and creative events to increase awareness and drive change.
Appropriate events for partnership:
- Serve to empower women and/or girls;
- Are preferably open to the public;
- Are held in Utah and target Utah participants.
Approved events will receive $250 in financial support and will be promoted to 800+ Utah women as well as shared on our LinkedIn and Facebook pages.
We ask that recipients acknowledge the Giving Circle on event webpages and materials and allow a representative of the Giving Circle to be present at the event and set-up a tabletop display with printed materials to provide information about the Giving Circle for interested attendees.
Submit your completed application AND your 501(c)(3) IRS determination letter to wgc@utahcf.org at least 30 days before your event. There is no limit to the number of grants any one recipient can receive.
Have a great event idea, but lacking a 501(c)(3)? We encourage you to reach out to aligned nonprofit organizations to partner on the event, making your event eligible for support. We’re happy to help. Get in touch at wgc@utahcf.org and let’s make it happen.

Beauty Redefined: The Impact of Body Image on Women’s Confidence and Influence
UVU Women & Leadership Project
Thursday, January 29th
6:30 – 8:30 PM
Studies show the majority of girls and women live in a state of self-consciousness, where they constantly monitor their appearances for what they look like to outsiders. This leads to feelings of body shame and low self-worth, which are often dealt with through harmful ways of coping, such as disordered eating, opting out of social activities and exercise, self-harm, and dangerous and expensive cosmetic surgery. How do we overcome this negative posture of poor self-image and preoccupation with appearance? Identical twins Lexie and Lindsay Kite, Ph.D.s and co-directors of the nonprofit Beauty Redefined Foundation, will provide an engaging visual presentation on body image resilience, which their research shows is central to mental and physical health, confidence, happiness, and empowerment.
