Sunstone Education Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering open forums for exploring Mormon thought, history, and experience through various artistic and intellectual mediums. The private company is based in Salt Lake City. The foundation publishes Sunstone magazine, which includes scholarship, personal essays, poetry, fiction, and visual art examining the spiritual, intellectual, social, and artistic dimensions of Mormonism and its contemporary life. The magazine transitioned to a digital format in 2018 and serves as a platform for diverse voices within and related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and others interested in exploring gospel truths and cultural issues. Sunstone organizes an annual summer symposium and regional conferences that provide spaces for presenting and debating topics such as theology, culture, LGBTQ issues, women’s rights, indigenous concerns, psychology, politics, and alternative practices. These events feature scholars, artists, and thinkers and are complemented by audio recordings, podcasts, and other publications. The foundation also supports student engagement through the Student Association of Sunstone, which offers online discussions, book clubs, speaker events, and plans for meetups and service projects. Sunstone maintains extensive archives of publications and recordings, including materials involving controversial or problematic figures, to uphold historical integrity and facilitate community learning. The organization promotes humanitarian service, honest inquiry, respectful exchange of ideas, and values such as anti-racism, women’s liberation, LGBTQ equality, and religious pluralism. It operates independently without official ties to the LDS Church and sustains its mission through donations, membership subscriptions, event participation, and merchandise sales.
