History
The foundation was founded in 1960 by George S. Eccles and his wife Dolores Doré Eccles. Following the death of George S. in 1982, the Foundation became more active. By 2017, it had awarded more than $600 million to various organizations around the state of Utah.[1]
In 2021, KPCW renamed its studios the Spencer F. Eccles Broadcast Center following a $400,000 grant from the foundation.[2] The project allowed KPCW to expand its broadcast facilities.
