| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | RESEARCH: WITH AN EXPANDED STAFF, WE PUBLISHED 14 REPORTS COVERING A RANGE OF CRUCIAL ISSUES, INCLUDING TAXES, TRANSPORTATION, EDUCATION, UTAH'S MILLENIALS, BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE, SENIOR SERVICES, QUALITY OF LIFE, VOTING, AND THE WORKFORCE. THE MILLENNIALS AND BOOMERS SERIES BROKE NEW GROUND, WITH OUR EXTENSIVE SURVEY ALLOWING COMPARISONS TO NATIONAL OPINIONS. AMONG THE FINDINGS, UTAH MILLENNIALS ARE MORE CONTENT AT WORK AND MORE LIKELY TO OWN HOMES THAN NATIONAL COUNTERPARTS. THEY DO HAVE A GREATER PREFERENCE FOR BIG CITY LIVING THAN OTHER UTAH GENERATIONS, BUT IT IS MUCH SMALLER THAN THIS MUCH-DISCUSSED PREFERENCE AMONG NATIONAL MILLENNIALS. AND THERE IS SO MUCH MORE IN THOSE REPORTS ASIDE FROM THE GENREATIONS SURVEY, OUR MOST POPULAR REPORTS COVERED UTAH'S TAX BURDEN, LOCAL ROADS, CHALLENGES WITH VOTER TURNOUT, AND UTAH EMPLOYERS' FEEDBACK ON THE QUALITIES OF OUR WORKFORCE. ALL OF THESE PROVIDE ESSENTIAL INSIGHTS THAT CAN BE USED IN MAKING PUBLIC POLICY, ECONOMIC DECISIONS, AND DEVELOPING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND SOCIETY.

A SURVEY OF UTAH EMPLOYERS WE ALSO PUBLISHED 21 BLOG POSTS ON ECONOMIC, EDUCATIONAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, DEMOGRAPHIC, AND SOCIAL TOPICS. WE EVEN JUST ADDED AN AUDIO PODCAST CALLED UTAH THRIVES. TAKE A LOOK AT WWW.UTAHFOUNDATION.ORG/BLOG. WE WILL SOON DISCONTINUE POSTAL MAILINGS, EXCEPT FOR OCCATIONAL POSTCARDS. EVENTS, MEDIA EXPOSURE, AND COMMUNICATIONS: THIS YEAR HAS SEEN A TRULY AMAZING AMOUNT OF MEDIA COVERAGE ON OUR WORK, WITH 201 NEWS ARTICLES CITING OUR RESEARCH. MOST OF THE ARTICLES INCLUDE LINKS TO OUR REPORTS, WHICH IS DRIVING STRONG TRAFFIC TO OUR WEBSITE, WHICH SEES ABOUT 7,000 OF OUR FULL REPORTS DOWNLOADED PER MONTH. THIS IS A RECORD LEVEL OF NEWS ARTICLES FOR US, AND IT QUADRUPLES OUR RATE IN 2014. THIS INCLUDES NINE FRONT-PAGE FEATURES IN THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE AND DESERET NEWS. THIS KIND OF EXPOSURE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF OUR RECENT EXPANSION AND HIRING AN EXPERIENCED MEDIA PERSONALITY AS OUR COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR. IN APRIL, WE CREATED AN INNOVATIVE ACROSS THE SPECTRUM LUNCH FEATURING NEW PERSONALITIES REVIEWING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND PREDICTING POLITICAL EVENTS FOR THE COMING YEAR. IN SEPTEMBER, WE CELEBRATED OUR 70TH ANNIVERSARY WITH STYLE AT A GALA LUNCHEON, WHERE WE GAVE OUR FIRST-EVER INSIGHT AWARD TO DAN AND PAT JONES FOR THEIR LONGTIME DEDICATION TO ENLIGHTENING UTAHNS ON THE ISSUES. |
