Utah Foundation is a private, non-partisan public policy research group founded in 1945. We study tax policy, public school funding, environmental issues and many other topics of interest to the community and to Utah's political leaders. Our mission is to promote a thriving economy, a well-prepared workforce and a high quality of life for Utahns.

The Utah Thrives podcast looks at how Utah Foundation research is received and applied and how the topics we've studied are seen in the community. The producer is Dan Bammes, a veteran radio reporter who now serves as the Foundation's Director of Communications.
