The Pat & Gary Watkins Charitable Foundation was created to assist educational, research, health care, and charitable organizations in our community that serve others in need. The Foundation’s purpose is to support local (Utah) programs that help promote self-reliance in individuals and our community by helping those in need to gain additional education, health care, or other services so that they are then able to help themselves.

The Foundation’s focus areas of giving are:

Education

• General and engineering scholarships (financial need-based)
• Refugee & other education programs

Health Care

• Medical research
• Medical care/support (especially financial need-based)
