01What it does

What Timpanogos Legal Center does

Mission

The primary purpose of the organization is to provide free legal services to low-income people and victims of domestic violence. Our mission is to empower victims of domestic violence and low-income utahns to navigate the legal system through innovative and trauma-informed legal services. The organization recruits and trains legal professionals to provide pro bono work in new and meaningful ways, which enables thousands of people each year to pursue or defend their rights in court and ensure stability and security for their families. We named our organization after mount timpanogos with the vision that we will lift our clients like the peaks of the mountain elevate our eyes upward. Our motto is "lifting lives through the law".

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. Timpanogos Legal Center (tlc) continued to successfully deliver direct legal services in the areas of family, housing, and abuse law for victims of abuse and low-income utahns. In 2024, tlc continued to expand services to rural utah, including the strengthening of legal advice clinics in sanpete, millard, and duchesne counties. The organization evaluated the document preparation clinic and identified and implemented several improvements to the intake and case assignment procedures that have improved the experience of tlc clients and have delivered services more effectively. Tlc programs served 8,952 clients in 2024. Tlc expanded their team from 13 to 15 team members to respond to ever-increasing requests for service.

The organization over time

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.

How it's funded, over time

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $58k → $242k.

2 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% 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 TIMPANOGOS LEGAL CENTER’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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.

TIMPANOGOS LEGAL CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 49% of grant income and the top three 87%; half comes from just 2 funders.

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

57% 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 TIMPANOGOS LEGAL CENTER.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $67k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
