Boeing has given grants totaling $300,000 to seven Utah organizations that provide help for veterans and their families, advance STEM programs or boost the environment.

One of the recipients is the Park City-based National Ability Center, which got $75,000 to support its programs and services for about 1,000 transitioning military veterans and 500 of their family members annually.

Environmental grants were awarded to The Nature Conservancy and the National Forest Foundation, said Boeing Chairman Dennis Muilenburg, noting that the Utah grants were part of $50 million that was awarded to 500 nonprofit groups in 50 countries.
