They serve as ambassadors, helping to support the mission of the Utah National Guard, honor the service and sacrifices of its personnel, and contribute to the well-being of its troops and their families.

National Guard Association of Utah (NGAUT)

Charitable Trust
Founded in 2005, the Utah Guard Charitable Trust is the leading nonprofit organization focusing on issues important to Utah military families.
Mission Statement
To provide financial support to the service members and eligible family members of the Utah National Guard and other reserve component units that reside within the State of Utah.
Why We Are Needed
Members of the Utah National Guard make significant sacrifices and contributions to the military efforts of the United States, and the emergency readiness within the State of Utah.
While members of the Active-Duty military are eligible for programs that provide support for the military family, members of the National Guard are not eligible for the same programs.
The Utah Guard Charitable Trust fills this gap and helps provide resources necessary so our brave Soldiers and Airmen can stay focused on their mission.
Leadership
Our board of directors is a team with civilian and military experience that provides a solid organizational structure and produces quality programs and services.
