How we think about diversity, equity, & inclusion

Park City Community Foundation is committed to the advancement of equity, diversity, and inclusion and toward making Park City a place where all people can fully realize their aspirations.

As an organization, our goal is to infuse equity and belonging into our culture and practices. We strive to be inclusive and antiracist, and we want to inspire the local nonprofit community in its efforts to do the same.

Our definitions.

Diversity = Who is around us?

Equity = What are the outcomes? If there are disparities, are they getting smaller?

Inclusion = Who has a voice? Who participates in making decisions and shaping culture?
