Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The Rural Utah Project works for political change in order to protect public lands in Utah for the benefit of all people.

  • Issue Advocacy - RUP continued to engage in organizing work in numerous communities in nine counties in rural southern Utah. Through this program, RUP organizers held thousands of non-partisan, issue-based conversations with voters to learn the most effective way to organize in underrepresented rural communities. RUP also advocated for and against various proposals that impact Utahs public lands and voting access.

    Expenses $375,101

  • Other work - Additionally, RUP conducted other organizing work across the places we organize - this included some elections-based work, such as meeting with and supporting candidates for public office, and made contributions to some candidates campaigns.

    Expenses $153,881

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
