In a new analysis of IRS data, SmartAsset uncovered the places where Americans give the most to charity, and the Ogden-Clearfield metro area ranks in the number three spot.
Ogden-Clearfield is the second of three Utah metro areas to crack this top 10. Roughly one-third of tax returns from this metro area claim contributions to some charity, a top-15 rate. The reason Ogden-Clearfield cracks our top five is because of the large size of charitable donations. Nearly 5% of income here goes to charities. For that metric, the Ogden area ranks third.

Internship Program Is Not About
Getting Coffee For The Boss
Doug Marshall’s brother gave him the inside scoop when it was time for Doug to choose an internship at Western Washington University. His brother had been in an internship called College Works Projects (CWP) and told him that if he did well in that program, he could succeed anywhere.
Doug was investigating internships at Microsoft, Boeing and several other companies - including a cologne manufacturer in Germany - but felt he should take his brother’s advice. So he decided to go with CWP (www.collegeworks.com), a program that offers internships that help undergraduate students gain real-life business management experience by running their own house-painting business.
That was eight years ago. Today, Doug is the International Marketing Manager at the Washington State Wine Commission.
“It turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made,” he says. “I use what I learned at CWP every day here.” Doug says he especially utilizes the interviewing and sales techniques he learned in the program.
Doug excelled at CWP, and was named the first General Manager for CWP in British Columbia. He was promoted quickly due to his consistency as a top performer, selling over $100,000 and placing in the top 10 in sales - out of over 3,000 hired - in his first year. Following his initial success, Doug managed a team of branch managers, selling over $600,000 in his second and third years.
As the company's General Manager, Doug built from the ground up the first international division of College Works Painting in Vancouver, B.C.
Ranked as one of the top 10 internships in the nation by Vault.com, and top 100 of over 100,000 by The Princeton Review, CWP has earned a reputation as one of the most challenging and rewarding internship programs in the United States and Canada.

Origami Crane
Exclusively Premieres
"Like A Flame"
via Atwood Magazine
Listen HERE
New York, NY - September 27, 2018
- Indie-pop trio,
Origami Crane, is exclusively premiering their newest single "
Like A Flame" via
Atwood Magazine today! Give the track a spin here:
"Like A Flame" was recorded by Grammy-nominated Brent Kolatalo (Ariana Grande, Kanye West) and Arthur Indrikovs (Calvin Harris, Florence + The Machine), and follows the release of their previous single "Turn Around." On the track, drummer Max McEwen shares, "'Like A Flame' is a hot end-of-summer dance tune about what everyone wants: that passionate summer love with a person that blows your mind, and 'keep[s] burning through the night.' It's syncopated, it's groovy, and we really love playing it live."
Origami Crane met when the three members were students at Berklee College of Music in Boston, and after crossing the country multiple times as members of different pop, soul, and rock bands, the three decided it was their turn to create a band of their own. In the summer of 2017, they packed up a van with everything they could possibly fit, and drove from Denver to NYC with the vision of Origami Crane in mind.
###
Origami Crane is Jake Fine (vocals, guitar, piano, synthesizer), Noah Wilson (bass, synthesizer), and Max McEwen (percussion and backup vocals).
Upcoming Shows:
