UPAN is 100% volunteer. None of our staff or volunteers are provided compensation of any kind. Our entire operation is dependent upon the kind donations from community supporters that see value in our cause of making the incarceration journey of Utah prisoners and their families easier and more fair. Make a tax deductible charitable donation to UPAN and the money will go towards event programming, inmate mail and newsletter printing costs, as well as operational costs. More information about our 501(c)3 nonprofit status is below. Thank you for supporting our cause.

Upon completing your transaction you will receive an automatically generated receipt sent to your email address that can be used as documentation of your tax deductible charitable donation.
