Our Haitian Heroes is a Utah based organization whose mission is to build housing and construction businesses in Haiti. The group was started by a coalition of LDS Church missionaries who had served missions in the country and want to assist the earthquake ravaged country. It has grown quickly to include people from all walks of life and religious backgrounds who are looking for a way to make a permanent difference in the lives of Haitians.
The I Am Jane Foundation, led by Keith Hamilton, supports the production of Margaret Blair Young's award-winning stage play about Jane Manning James, an early black LDS pioneer who survived the mobs at Nauvoo, the westward trek to the Salt Lake Valley and the societal prejudices of an unforgiving era with unyielding faith, courage, and tolerance. Historically accurate, the play explores the challenges Jane and other black Mormons faced within the LDS Church, especially during the settlement and establishment of what is now Utah.
