Utah Wild Sheep Foundation Mission Statement
The purpose of Utah Wild Sheep Foundation is to promote and enhance increasing populations of indigenous wild sheep to Utah, to safeguard against the decline or extinction of such species, and to fund programs for professional management of these populations, keeping all administrative costs to a minimum. We are vigorously involved in the conservation, propagation of Utah’s bighorn sheep, and intensive management of the remaining wild sheep populations and their habitats. The Foundation annually funds a wide variety of meaningful and essential projects with some major areas of consideration being; wildlife enhancement, management, the re-establishment of wild sheep, and sportsmen’s rights

Message From the President
As I look back on last year, I can hardly contain the excitement I have for the future of our organization. The annual fundraising banquet has sold out the past two years and we will be looking for a larger venue for 2026 and beyond. Organizational revenues continue to grow and I am sure most of you have been receiving emails and social media posts regarding the Desert Bighorn sweepstakes we are currently running. As a result, we anticipate giving away two sheep hunts at our 2025 banquet, an ARRO Dall’s sheep hunt and an Old Mexico Desert Bighorn hunt! Please see our website for ticket sales and like all hunt applications, the only rule is that if your hat’s not in the game, you’re certainly not going to win! It is still my personal goal to give away hunts for all four species of North American wild sheep at our banquet and we are closer than ever to achieving that objective.
Our board of directors continues to expand with passionate, motivated individuals and as a result of a tremendous donation from one of our long-time supporters, Utah WSF couldn’t be in a better position going forward. The opportunity for growth is unique and as a result, the Board has transitioned Hadli Sorenson, our banquet and fundraising director, into a full-time executive director’s position. Please see the executive director’s write-up for her short and long-term goals for the organization.
