We Need Your Support

Please join us in helping to preserve these life histories for future generations. Your tax-deductible donation can make a real difference. A fundamental principle of YourStory involves making our services available to every Utahn. Every single life history is important and worth preserving. For this reason, we keep the cost of having a personal history recorded as low as possible—only $10 per hour.

YourStory is a non-profit project of the College of Humanities at the University of Utah funded by grants, personal donations and corporate and foundation gifts. If you could help in any way---no matter how small the donation—it will allow us to continue this wonderful work. Join the other generous donors who support YourStory.

Our current funding needs include:

Blank CDs and CD cases
($50 for one week’s worth)

Internships for university students trained in oral history and life story preservation
($1000 per semester)

Transcription and editing for life history books for patients at Huntsman Cancer Institute
($50)

Funding to send a YourStory intern on “house calls” to record the life stories of those who are physically unable to reach our recording studio.
($500)

Recording equipment for Huntsman Cancer Institute or the YourStory-mobile
($5000)

Purchase of a flash-drive recorder for out-of-the-studio “home visit” recording
($750)

The important work that we do depends on investments by generous donors like you.
