Utah Athletic Foundation

The Utah Athletic Foundation, now operating as the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Summit County, Utah, United States. It was created to preserve and maintain a portion of the venues used during the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Winter Games. In May 2002, the foundation took over the management of the Utah Olympic Park and the Utah Olympic Oval. Its logo is a variant of the emblem of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. The foundation's mission is to bring to life the Olympic and Paralympic spirit in youth, communities, and athletes from around the world. It operates and maintains legacy venues at world-class levels, providing opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to watch, learn, and excel in winter sports. Inspired by the success and momentum of the 2002 Games, the foundation focuses on embracing, engaging, and involving Utah's youth in winter sport. Key venues under its management include the Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns, built in 2001 for the 2002 Games, which houses Utah's only 400-meter speed skating oval, two international-sized ice sheets, and a four-lane 442-meter running track. The Utah Olympic Park and Soldier Hollow are also part of its portfolio, offering activities such as scenic chairlift rides, mountain and e-bike rentals, and learn-to-skate and learn-to-curl classes. Governed by a President/CEO and a Board of Directors with thirteen voting members, one ex-officio member, and one advisor, the foundation is a non-profit organization. It is supported by ticket sales and donations, with proceeds going directly to supporting the foundation and future winter athletes. The foundation's strategic framework for Vision 2035 includes pillars focused on sport programs, public experiences, Olympic venues, responsible resource management, and expanding the legacy's reach.
