Deseret First Charitable Foundation

You donate. We give. They serve.

About the charity

DFCU found ways to give back to our community ever since we started in 1955. We decided there was more of a need than we could serve on our own so…the Deseret First Charitable Foundation (DFCF) was created! Now DFCF is where we use donated funds to help outfit missionaries of any age from an elder, a sister, to a senior couple. The primary purpose of DFCF is to provide tangible items such as clothing, shoes, and luggage to missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We love helping in such a simple way so elders and sisters are prepared to serve!

Charity Golf Tournament

The Deseret First Charitable Foundation Golf Tournament has been cancelled for 2020; however, donations can still be made by clicking on the link below and various raffle prizes will be drawn from those who contribute in lieu of playing golf. Our Foundation efforts continue to bless the lives of many missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as we help to “outfit” them with needed supplies. Be sure to watch for updates as we select a new 2021 golf date for our fundraising annual tournament. You play, we give, they serve.
