How We Got Started

In 2016, Mike and Suzanne Hall of Salt Lake City, Utah, were looking for a way to bring more hope to the challenges of today’s world. Inspired by a deep desire to make a meaningful difference, they founded The Beautiful Heart Foundation with the mission of supporting children and families in need. The first initiative was a program that brought the gift of music to children and teachers in Lithuania. Seeing the profound impact of this effort, they were inspired to continue their outreach, exploring new ways to uplift and empower communities in need.

The foundation has since grown to support underprivileged children, in a variety of ways, to develop to their full potential. Beautiful Heart’s programs support the arts and education, children and families, and refugees. One vision unites the foundation’s current efforts: to lift hearts and change lives.

We welcome the opportunity to support worthwhile causes related to children and families and encourage individuals, grant seekers, and program officers to contact us regarding collaboration and funding opportunities.

To better accomplish its mission throughout the world, The Beautiful Heart Foundation also welcomes donations. Unlike many non-profit organizations, our funding structure allows for 100% of donations to directly support people and programs — not operating expenses.

Thank you for visiting the Beautiful Heart Foundation — lifting hearts and changing lives since 2016.
