01What it does

What Healthy Environment Alliance of Utah does

Mission

Heal utah's mission is to protect utah's environment and its people by promoting clean air, clean energy, and comprehensive solutions to radioactive and toxic waste.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Air quality the organization addresses three main air pollution emission sources-- vehicles, area sources, and industry--by working with the state legislature, regulatory agencies, the private business sector, and the general public. We believe that action on air pollution is action on climate change and that advocating for clean air is one of the most immediate ways we can protect communities and the environment. That's why heal utah works to strengthen and defend regulations and air quality standards while supporting policies and strategies that prioritize public health and frontline communities. Heal dedicated efforts to enhancing public input, transparency, and accountability within the I-15 highway expansion project, submitting its own technical comments as well as garnering over 500 public comments in the draft eis process. Heal was also actively involved in addressing ozone and regional haze pollution in utah through engagement with the epa and state processes. Although a district 10 judge ruled against heal in its legal challenge asking the epa to enforce its own pollution control rules on coal-fired power plants, heal then put additional efforts into supporting the…

  2. Radioactive and toxic waste the organization addresses radioactive and toxic waste issues by harnessing the power of grassroots advocates, educating the public on the hazards of radioactive and toxic waste, and watchdogging corporations that profit from it. We recognize that radioactive and toxic materials pose an environmental and public health crisis in tandem with our climate crisis. Consequently, heal utah believes there is no inclusive clean energy future if we continue to ignore the impacts of extraction on public health and frontline communities. When it comes to past, present, and future harms, we must stand with and protect utah's communities. In 2023 heal continued to monitor and oppose the utah associated municipal power systems' "carbon free power project," a small modular nuclear reactor (smnr)proposal. We ultimately saw this project collapse in november 2023, due to concerns we had raised about high costs, slow timelines, and a lack of public transparency. Heal also opposed energy solutions' efforts to bring more toxic waste to utah, and the nrc rulemaking process that could make it easier to bring depleted uranium into utah. Additionally, heal continued to advocate…

  3. Transition to clean energy the organization works to combat climate change by focusing on utah's transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The organization targets changes in industry, legislative and regulatory policy, and individual choices and behaviors. We believe that our energy system should be built for the people it serves and that advocating for clean energy requires a comprehensive approach. That's why heal utah works to advance a clean energy future that not only reduces emissions and stabilizes the climate, but also promotes adaptation, resilience, health equity, and economic opportunity in our communities. Heal continued to support the rollout of the utah renewable communities program to secure 100% renewable energy for over 18 municipalities and counties by 2030. As part of this program it provided input on the development of a low income cost mitigation program and actively helped prevent the exit of the program's largest member, ogden. In addition heal strengthened its ties with rural partners in the energy communities of carbon and emery counties, and became part of a labor coalition working to ensure that renewable communities can secure good jobs in the…

Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 13 funders to 17 funders, grant income rose $250k → $308k.

10 of 47 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 70% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT ALLIANCE OF UTAH’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 47 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT ALLIANCE OF UTAH leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 66%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

79% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT ALLIANCE OF UTAH.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.

Where its funders are

70% of HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT ALLIANCE OF UTAH's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $881k that is directly attributable, 74% of it comes from funders outside Utah, across 14 states.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
