Causes: Arts & Culture, Natural History & Natural Science Museums
Mission: The Natural History Museum of Utah illuminates the natural world and the place of humans within it.
Direct beneficiaries per year: In 2016,292 volunteers donated approximately 31,426 hours of service to engage over 250,000 visitors.
Geographic areas served: Salt Lake Region
Programs: NHMU is an institution of science. As such, we accept the theory of evolution, which is the unifying concept of all biological sciences. While there remains ongoing and lively debate about the processes of evolutionary change—that is, how evolution occurs—the overwhelming majority of biologists fully endorse the idea that all organisms on earth share a common ancestry and that life's unfolding has encompassed billions of years of time. Like gravity, evolution is one of the cornerstones of modern science, and it represents one of the key themes of our institutional mission.
