Success in historic preservation is achieved through partnership with private property owners, community and neighborhood grassroots organizations, business groups, and government entities on the local, county and state levels.And the fundamental partnership that enables Utah Heritage Foundation to work with all of these is the one with you, our members and donors.
To encourage your continuing partnership in our preservation work, Utah Heritage Foundation's Board of Trustees is challenging our members and donors with a $2,000 matching gift when the sum of donations in response to this appeal reaches $2,000.
