Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Women's Giving Fund
When the women and girls of Park City join together, they’re an unstoppable force—and the Women’s Giving Fund makes it possible. With a mission of supporting women and children in need, Women’s Giving Fund awards high-impact grants to local organizations that are making a difference. But that’s just the beginning. With service and social events throughout the year, Women’s Giving Fund is more than a circle of philanthropists. It’s an entire community of women helping women.
The idea behind the Women’s Giving Fund is simple. Each member donates at least $1,000, which can be split into monthly payments of just $84, and together their donations grow. Since 2014, more than 1,400 people have contributed to the Women’s Giving Fund, which has skyrocketed to over $1,500,000. The fund is endowed by Park City Community Foundation, and grants to local nonprofits are made from its earnings in perpetuity—so Park City women can feel the love of their community for generations to come.
Solomon Fund: Integration Through Recreation
Our goal is to facilitate access to these opportunities to create a more inclusive, integrated, and complete community. We would like to see child participation in athletics reflect the diverse makeup of our town. Our goal is to reach 21% Latino participation in programs that are currently being offered in Park City, mirroring the percentage of students in our school district.
This initiative aims to address several barriers that currently hinder participation for these families. Key barriers include communication and outreach, transportation, and scholarships and gear.
Communication and Outreach: Historically, opportunities that have been available have often gone unnoticed due to a major gap in communication between organizations and families. Translation of promotional materials, and outreach, are an important piece to this puzzle that we are taking on.
Transportation: Transportation to and from activities seems to be an ongoing obstacle for working parents. With the collaboration of several agencies offering additional transportation, more children will able to access the sports and recreational opportunities that our community has to offer.
Scholarships and Gear: Scholarship opportunities currently exist but do not fully support the actual need of Latino children in the Park City School District. The Solomon Fund has begun to collaborate with many agencies in town to help supplement and provide additional scholarships for children in need.
Park City Climate Fund
The Park City Climate Fund aims to engage greater Park City community members in implementing local, high-impact climate solutions that also have the potential to be effective in similar communities. By accepting our shared responsibility to take climate action, Park City can reap a host of economic, health, and quality of life benefits for all, while inspiring broader change.
Social Equity Initiative
In partnership with Park City Municipal Corporation, Park City Community Foundation is convening the community to build greater social equity and a more complete community. Park City Community Foundation will mobilize its deep convening experience to bring the community together in a coalition that will perform a social equity self-diagnosis, identify existing social equity resources and gaps, prioritize the most significant and addressable social equity challenges, develop a multiyear strategic plan.
Summit County Early Childhood Alliance
The Summit County Early Childhood Alliance is working to ensure that all children in Summit County have sufficient opportunities in the years up to age three to thrive, learn, and grow into participating, contributing members of our community.
Live PC Give PC
Every November, Live PC Give PC brings our community together through LivePCGivePC.org for 24 hours of extreme generosity. Children break open their piggy banks. Young people dip into their savings. Businesses kick in matching grants. With everyone in the community giving whatever they can, we’ve raised millions of dollars for Park City nonprofits. It’s how we’re working together to preserve the place we love—so it will continue to thrive for generations to come.
