Overview
Mission
To promote respect and understanding between the people of Utah and other nations. Uccd serves as a nonprofit-sector partner with the u.s. Department of state's professional and cultural exchange programs, most notably the international visitor leadership program. Uccd arranges these professional and cultural programs for emerging leaders who visit the u.s. As guests of our government. Uccd is guided by the concept of "citizen diplomacy" - the idea that as citizens we have the right, even the responsibility, to help shape u.s. Foreign relations "one hand-shake at a time."
What it reported doing in 2024
INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP ACADEMY Our International Leadership Academy connects college students and young adults to career opportunities in international relations. Individuals participate in activities that foster their leadership skills through civic preparation, engagement with the many cultures in Utah, and learning about the role Utah plays in the world. College-age youth can travel to global events to develop their leadership skills around the sustainability issues that matter most to them. Our fellowship and internship program fosters employability skills and connects career-ready youth with international relations career opportunities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
