Utah Donor Collaborative is committed to building a politically balanced Utah, and we invite political donors, elected officials, nonprofit professionals, volunteers and activists, and political operatives and strategists to join our day-long conference.

Together, we will exchange ideas, build community, and learn from local and national experts about how to change Utah's political dynamic and build progressive power by working in a coalition for the long term.

We are thrilled to announce that our keynote speaker will be Stephanie Schriock, a renowned leader with over 20 years of experience in shaping political landscapes across the nation. As the former President of EMILY’s List, Stephanie tripled the organization’s income, expanded its reach to over 5 million supporters, and trained thousands of women to run for office. Her insights on leadership, strategy, and coalition-building have transformed political campaigning, making her one of the most sought-after speakers on these topics. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear from Stephanie and gain actionable strategies to make a lasting impact in Utah.

After the conference, the Better Utah Institute is hosting its second annual Progressive Block Party! Dozens of nonprofits, campaigns, and community groups are coming together to show their positive impact in Utah.
