What Great Basin Heritage Area Partnership does
Mission
To recognize, conserve, preserve, and interpret the historical, cultural, archaeological, natural, scenic, and recreational resources of the great basin national heritage area.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
For more than 20 years, the territorial statehouse state park in fillmore, utah has hosted the old capitol arts & living history festival each september. A primary focus of the festival is the living history program for elementary school students, with over 600 students participating each year. The 30,000 in heritage area funding supported living history programming, including native american dancing and drumming, for the 2024 and 2025 festivals. Students learn pioneer skills like yarn spinning, blacksmithing, and candlemaking and learn the steps and significance of shoshone and paiute dances.
$30,000 spentof which $30,000 as grants10% of program spendingTen (10) interpretive signs were designed and installed in two locations (five at each spot) along highway 50 in spring valley, nevada. At the osceola location, the signs discuss the history of mining and ranching in the region, the national park and public lands, and the wind farm. At the bahsahwahbee location, the signs focus on the swamp cedars and their significance to the shoshone and goshute peoples, with the fifth sign discussing the establishment of the heritage area. Gbhap partnered with blm, ndot, and the duckwater shoshone, ely shoshone, and goshute tribes to develop the signs. Funds paid for graphic design services, sign fabrication, and installation.
$24,269 spentof which $24,269 as grants8% of program spendingIn 2025, Great Basin Heritage Area Partnership worked with nevada department of transportation and utah department of transportation to design and install "entering great basin national heritage area" signs along major highways at ten (10) entry points to the heritage area. The 24,250 paid for sign fabrication and installation at the five entry points to millard county in utah, with those tasks performed by a udot-approved contractor. For the white pine county entry points, ndot donated the fabrication and installation services, effectively matching the funds paid by the heritage area. Entry point signage was identified as a need in the heritage area's original management plan (2013) and reconfirmed in the 2023 strategic plan, with the goal of raising awareness of the heritage area for residents and visitors alike.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $114k to $486k (+326%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
