Soup Bowl Fundraiser Beneficiary Application

Clay Artisans of Moab (CLAM) – Soup Bowl Beneficiary Application Guidelines

Beneficiary organization must be a nonprofit organization with tax-exempt status as a public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which operates within Grand County, Utah.

The selection of the Soup Bowl fundraiser beneficiary will be guided by our commitment to fostering community impact, equity, and sustainability. Eligible nonprofit organizations must operate within Grand County, Utah, and demonstrate how the funds will be used to directly benefit local Moab residents. Whether the funds are allocated for a specific, well-defined program or unrestricted to support the organization’s broader mission, applicants must clearly outline their intended use and the expected outcomes.

We prioritize initiatives that align with our values of nourishment, community, connection, and hope. Preferred projects/initiatives focus on youth engagement, art, food inequity, and sustainable food systems. Our goal is to uplift programs that improve the quality of life for families in Moab and support the non-profits that are doing good work within our community.

While unrestricted funds may be used for administrative costs such as salaries or rents, organizations must articulate how these expenses will contribute to achieving their goals and strengthening the community. By emphasizing these values and priorities, we aim to support initiatives that create meaningful, lasting change in Moab.
