Your Donations Save Lives!
Search and Rescue is a volunteer, non-profit (501(c)3) organization established to protect life in unincorporated areas of Utah County under the direction of the Sheriff Department Emergency Services Division.
While the Sheriff Office budget covers a few of the team’s annual operating costs, we depend largely on generous donations from citizens and local businesses to make ends meet and purchase the equipment necessary to continue providing the best possible service to citizens who need our help.
Except for donations you specifically direct for the SAR Gas Fund, all donations are used for equipment and training that directly serve people in dire need of rescue.
With around one hundred missions per year, chances are very good that you know someone personally who has been directly impacted by Search and Rescue efforts. Your donation may one day help save the life of a friend or neighbor!
Tax-deductible donations may be sent to the Utah County Sheriff’s Office:

P.P.P.S. With rising gas prices, our volunteers may spend $20 - $80 of their own money just to respond to an emergency. If you would like to donate to the Search and Rescue Gas Fund, please write “SAR Gas Fund” on your check or use the donation button below.
SAR Gas Fund donations will purchase fuel cards to be distributed among team members who meet our team standard for minimum participation.
Thank you from our team and our many rescue recipients for your generous support! Your generous donations save lives!
