Mission and programs · 2022

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 seven counties in rural southeastern 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.

    Expenses $405,869

  • 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 $223,873

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.
