Honoring Heroes Foundation
The Honoring Heroes Foundation is incorporated in Utah and has been granted Internal
Revenue Service 501(c)(3) status of Charitable Organization. The Mission Statement for
the Honoring Heroes Foundation is "To protect and provide for fallen and wounded Troopers
and for the well being of the dependents and employees of the Utah Highway Patrol and
the Department of Public Safety." The intent is to assist with expenses not covered by
insurance when Troopers are injured on the job, killed in the line of duty, or encounter
other catastrophic expenses not of their own making.
Rural Utah Communities and Scholarships
Rural Utah Community Projects may include local service projects to assist rural communities
throughout the state and also educational scholarships to sponsor students and provide
valuable opportunities for the youth in these remote areas.
