The Ruth Eleanor Bamberger and John Ernest Bamberger Memorial Foundation was founded by Ernest and Eleanor Bamberger in 1947. Ernest and Eleanor were civic leaders and humanitarians who contributed to the community both financially and by volunteering their time. The Foundation was established in loving memory of their only children, Ruth Eleanor and John Ernest, who both died early in life.

The Foundation is dedicated to fulfilling the Founders’ desires to help people reach their individual potential. We assist people of all ages, but especially children and young people through educational opportunities and scholarships, supporting crisis care and protective services, dental aid, after school programs, etc. Giving is limited to Utah organizations. Grants and scholarships are given only to organizations, not to individuals personally.
