Over the last five years, the Helper Project has funded 70 projects centered on the revitalization and beautification of Helper as well as those that support economic development and promote cultural connections within the city and for its citizens.
Michelle Sully, Executive Director of the Helper Project, stated, “Two years ago, both Intermountain Healthcare and the King Family Foundation expressed their desire to participate with the Helper Project in the funding of scholarships for Helper high school graduates. Scholarships are awarded to graduates seeking degrees in vocational as well as medical-related programs. This is a clear response in our effort to foster economic development within Helper.”
