Rights Project in Salt Lake City, Utah. The original project period was
from September 30, 2006 through September 29, 2009. The Tides Center
served as fiscal sponsor and legal entity of the approved project. The
Tides Center provides essential financial, human resources, and
administrative services to philanthropic projects such as the Utah
