About Us

Park City Community Foundation helps solve our area’s greatest challenges.

Love Park City? We do too. 

As a tight-knit community that is deeply rooted in our natural environment, we believe in caring for the health and well-being of one another and the place we call home. And yet, there are still many in our community who are not able to enjoy all that Park City has to offer.

Since our inception in 2007, Park City Community Foundation has brought over $82 million to greater Park City. We build community belonging to advance a thriving workforce and sustainable future in Park City and Summit County.

We bring together local nonprofits, caring donors, and community leaders to contribute financial resources and innovative ideas to benefit all the people of Park City—now and in the future. We foster a robust, local nonprofit sector and we engage people who care about our area in giving. We also support urgent issues and operate some issue-focused initiatives.

Community foundations like ours exist to make it easy for people to be philanthropists, to help address challenging issues, to support the nonprofits that are tackling those issues, and to build an endowment to help meet changing needs over time.

Our Values

Our commitment to our values shapes our work — from the culture we build across our organization to how we approach philanthropy, advise funders, and partner with nonprofits.

  • LEADERSHIP: We lean in and mobilize the power of the community to create solutions for transformative change. We shape our community, together.
  • COLLECTIVE IMPACT: We bring people together, using strategic collaboration and coordination to create lasting change at scale. We believe it takes a community.
  • TRUST: We strive to earn trust through our expertise, transparency, and honesty. We keep trust through our reliability, empathy, and integrity.
  • EQUITY: We include, amplify, and learn from the experience and expertise of those most impacted by systemic inequities. We seek to model what an equity-oriented organization can be.
  • BELONGING: We foster a sense of inclusion, respect, and connection, so that individuals from diverse backgrounds and perspectives feel part of our shared community. We embrace differences to create unity.
  • LEARNING: We combine humility and curiosity to question with the confidence to take action based on what we learn. We are results-oriented and evidence-based, seeking to improve and address our community’s most pressing challenges.

Thank you for joining us in this work and supporting our many initiatives, funds, and local nonprofits that address the very real issues that exist here in our community. Together, we’re working to create an exceptionally caring community. And a truly extraordinary place to live, work, stay and play.
