Stella H. Oaks Foundation

A subsidiary of Deseret International Foundation, Charity Vision is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization with a focus on empowering local physicians in the developing world and creating sustainable solutions to the worldwide blindness epidemic.

Charity Vision works with skilled local physicians and provide them with the surgical equipment and supplies they need to be successful. They provide their talent and time at no cost. they supply them with whatever it takes to restore sight to people in their own communities. The result is a network of developing health systems that perform charitable surgeries free of charge.

Since 1984, they’ve provided over 350,000 free surgeries to people suffering from needless blindness and other debilitating health problems. We average about 30,000 new procedures a year. Our average cost of one sight restoring procedure is a mere $25.

  • Over 90% of the blind live in developing countries.
  • Over 80% of blindness can be cured.
  • Every minute a child goes blind.

The need is great. Please join us. Your donation WILL change a life. See how you can get involved at: https://charityvision.org/

Kids On The Move is a local nonprofit that provides services throughout Utah to support families with young children with development delays and disabilities.

Kids On The Move has an umbrella of independent operating pillar programs: Autism Center, Early Head Start, Early Intervention, Preschool & Child Care, and Respite Care.

40 years ago, our founders built a unique program that put parents in charge of helping their child meet developmental challenges, with support and education from each other and caring professionals.

Today, Kids On The Move continues to provide high quality, comprehensive services to young children and families in our community. We continue to expect a bright future for all children. Our board, staff, and volunteers are all committed to our mission of supporting the development of young children and families.

We serve over 3,000 children a year and want to continue to offer our vital services to more. Your support will help provide services for children challenged by poverty, developmental delays, autism, other disabilities, and childcare needs. For more information or to get involved, visit us at www.kotm.org.

Our mission is to provide scholarships that enable single mothers to receive the education, skills, and technical training they need to fulfill their educational goals, enter the workforce, and support their children. We accomplish this through our three pillars: Educate, Employ, and Empower. We believe that when you educate a mother, you educate generations. The education of single mothers is a catalyst creating change for women, families, communities, and nations. When women are educated and economically empowered, they re-invest in their families and communities, producing a multiplier effect that contributes to the stability of individuals, families, and societies.

Towards this end, the Stella H. Oaks Foundation receives hundreds of applications and then grants award three times a year to qualified single mothers who show the greatest aptitude for completing their program and improving their situation. Applicants must meet a list of criteria to apply (demonstrated financial need, enrolled at a qualified institution of higher learning, care of at least one dependent child, and a commitment to completion). Technical degrees are highly encouraged as a quicker way to enter the workforce and support a family. Awards are also given to students at community colleges and four-year universities.

Over $1.75 million in scholarships have been awarded to date to single mothers. These moms are enrolled in programs as diverse as the women themselves including business, psychology, education, social work, information systems, accounting, graphic design, and nursing. Over 700 single mothers have received a scholarship from the Stella H. Oaks Foundation, making degrees possible that might not have happened any other way. Currently there are 100 women on scholarship with the Foundation with their 250+ kids watching and cheering them on. These single mothers are committed, determined, and hard-working and with financial help from this scholarship program, they are changing the trajectory of their lives.
