<div><strong>Support Wasatch Forward: Bringing Creativity, Community, and Conservation Together</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Utah's landscapes, waters, and communities deserve passionate people willing to protect them. At Wasatch Forward, we believe creativity has the power to inspire stewardship, build community, and spark meaningful action.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What began as a grassroots response to environmental challenges has grown into a nonprofit dedicated to connecting artists, musicians, educators, and community members through events that celebrate Utah while encouraging conservation and civic engagement.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support helps make that work possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On August 14, 2026, Wasatch Forward will host the North Ogden Night Market, bringing together local artists, musicians, makers, food vendors, nonprofit organizations, and families for a free evening of community connection. Later this month, we'll present Waves in the Wasatch, a benefit concert featuring local musicians and artists to raise awareness and support for Utah's lands and waters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar donated helps us continue building these community experiences while expanding our long-term mission of conservation education, creative collaboration, and environmental stewardship.

<div><strong>Tax Information for Donors</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wasatch Forward is a Utah nonprofit corporation and has applied for recognition as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our application is currently pending with the IRS.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At this time, donations made through this GoFundMe campaign are not currently tax-deductible. If the IRS approves our application, tax-exempt recognition may be effective retroactively in accordance with applicable IRS rules. Because our application is still pending, we cannot guarantee the tax treatment of any contribution.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If tax deductibility is an important consideration, we encourage you to consult your tax advisor or wait until our IRS determination has been finalized.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for supporting Wasatch Forward's mission to connect creativity, community, and conservation.
