A financial gift
Every gift, whatever the size, goes towards running the month on a balanced budget. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, so donations are tax deductible in the United States.
Support the project
Every activity is paid for by donations.
Which is why nothing across the four weeks is ever billed to a host family or a teen.
Make a donationWhy it matters
The Ulster Project is funded almost entirely by foundations, churches and individual donors. Individual gifts are what close the gap each year.
Ulster Project Utah identifies promising teen leaders from Utah and Northern Ireland, and nurtures their growth as peacemakers in a safe but challenging environment, one that gives them the skills to unite people whose differences divide their community.
Over forty years, more than seven hundred and fifty young people from Utah and Northern Ireland have taken part. Open communication leads to understanding, trust and reconciliation, and creates the friendships where long term change starts.

Two ways to give
Money, or the things we run out of.

Things we actually need
Material donations are just as useful. These are the items that get used up fastest across a Utah summer.
- Sunscreen. Lots of it. The Northern Irish teens are fair skinned, they call it suncream, and we go through boatloads.
- Ice. Coolers go out almost every day for lunches and water.
- Paper goods. Cups, plates, bowls, napkins, plastic utensils, Ziplock bags, foil, paper towels, Clorox wipes, picnic supplies.
- Drink mixes. Powdered lemonade and similar, and hot chocolate for the campout nights.
- Snacks and drinks. Teenagers are always hungry.
- First aid odds and ends. Plasters, bug bite remedies, Tylenol, Pepto-Bismol, lip balm, aloe gel.
- Bug spray.
- Paper, pens and markers. The teens write notes to each other at the end of the month.
From the president
Each year we strive to run the project with a balanced budget, and individual donations are critical in helping us meet that goal. All donations, no matter the size, are greatly appreciated, and help us continue the important work of the Ulster Project in years to come.
Grace and Peace,
Jami Hackley
President, Board of Trustees
Thank you
Anything helps.
A gift, a case of sunscreen, or an afternoon at the car wash. It all goes to the same four weeks.
