What Utah Tibetan Association does
Mission
The Utah Tibetan Association (uta) serves as a resource for anyone interested to learn about tibet, tibetans, language, religion and other aspects of the tibetan culture. Our objective and mission is to preserve our culture, arts, language, and provide guidance to the young generation of utah tibetans. We are also committed to diversifying our organization by interacting with other culture and communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In 2025, the Utah Tibetan Association remained committed to preserving and promoting tibetan culture through a variety of educational, cultural, and community events. Key highlights of the year include: - weekly sunday classes: ongoing throughout the year for children and youth ages 5 to 18, focusing on tibetan writing, language, and culture. These classes involve about 20 children each week, with volunteer support from 5 dedicated community members who consistently assist in teaching and organizing the classes. - tibetan new year (losar) celebration: held in february, marking the year of the snake with traditional prayers and cultural performances, attended by over 200 community members. The event saw a strong volunteer turnout, with more than 20 volunteers contributing to the setup, decorations, and event coordination. - march 10th - 66th anniversary of the 1959 tibetan uprising: the community participated in a march from the federal building to the state capitol to commemorate this historic event, symbolizing tibetan resistance against chinese occupation. More than 15 volunteers helped organize the march, assisted with logistics, and provided support on the day of the event. -…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $1.4M to $1.2M (−15%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 6% · 2021 69% · 2024 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
69% of UTAH TIBETAN ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (95% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
