Square Financial Services today launches the 21 Squared Grant
Initiative in partnership with the Community Foundation of Utah.
The grant program will award microgrants of $2,100 to 21 501(c)(3)
nonprofits throughout Utah focused on community development efforts
that align with Square Financial Services’ core values and
priorities for community reinvestment.
“Smaller nonprofits have experienced acute disruption throughout
the pandemic and we’re introducing our first grant program with
them in mind,” said Lew Goodwin, CEO of Square Financial Services.
“Microgrants enable us to provide fast, direct financial support to
nonprofits, empowering them to use the funds as they see fit to
best spearhead change in their communities. We’re honored to
support and deepen our connections with organizations that are
striving to break down barriers and expand access to underserved
groups.”
“Our partnership with Square Financial Services to support Utah
nonprofits engaged in vital community development work is core to
our mission," said Alex Eaton, Chief Executive Officer of the
Community Foundation of Utah. "Nonprofits, especially small ones,
are often integral organizations to the communities they serve, and
we're thrilled to continue supporting the critical work they
undertake through this new grant program."
In alignment with Square’s purpose of economic empowerment, the
21 Squared Grant Initiative is intended for nonprofits in Utah that
engage in community development work focused on one of the
following areas:
- Small business development
- Affordable housing
- Reentry support and entrepreneurship
- Financial capability and wellness
The call for applications for the 21 Squared Grant Initiative
begins today and eligible nonprofits can apply until the deadline
on December 31. A judging committee from Square Financial Services
will work with the Community Foundation of Utah to review and
assess applications. The winning organizations will be announced in
