This year ’ s impact report highlights the Miller Legacy Project , an initiative of the Larry H . & Gail Miller Family Foundation as well as the Giving and Service Committee of the Miller Family Council . Starting at the age of 12 , Miller family members are eligible to nominate organizations to receive grants on behalf of the Miller Family Foundation . This is an opportunity for young family members to learn the principles of effective philanthropy and practice being stewards in their community . In 2023 , 38 thirdgeneration and fourth-generation Miller family members participated in the Miller Legacy Project and gave funds to 25 nonprofit organizations .
The Greg and Heidi Miller Single Parent Scholarship is an example of the next generation of Miller family giving .
“ The Miller Legacy Project has been one of the best experiences I ’ ve had in my life . I have had my eyes opened to the needs in our own communities in Utah and the good we can continue to do as a family for the state . Gail has paved the way for the next generation of the Miller family to look for meaningful giving in our own communities . I ’ ve been able to connect with individuals and subsequently participate with charities meaningful to me through my giving with the Miller Legacy Project . I ’ ve found the relationships are just as meaningful as the giving and last far beyond the life of the donation . I ’ m so grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside members of my community ,” said Lauren Todd Miller , chair of the Miller Family Foundation ’ s Giving and Service Committee .
Along with the community and partners , the Miller Family Foundation
strives to enrich lives through collaboration . The impact report highlights the impactful programs and organizations making a difference in our community .
“ Working on the Impact Report has given me a new perspective on the scope of the Miller Family Foundation ’ s work ,” said Kat Miller , who served as lead graphic designer on the 2022 and 2023 Impact Reports . “ It is overwhelming to see how many organizations the foundation gives to and its effect on so many individuals across the state . I have especially loved learning about what individual family members are passionate about in our next generation giving initiatives .”
