Nonprofit Education
What’s different about Park City Community Foundation? Beyond just awarding grant money, the Community Foundation is the place for nonprofits to collaborate and learn from one another. And with professional development comes better governance and financial responsibility, which leads to stronger, more viable nonprofits. We offer accessible and affordable opportunities to help nonprofits maximize their impact in the community.
Open Nonprofit Roundtables provide the opportunity to share best practices with colleagues, build stronger relationships among nonprofit organizations, and provide a regular meeting place for leaders through facilitated discussions. Roundtables are open to every level of nonprofit staff, from program directors, to fundraisers, to executive directors to board members.
The Nonprofit CEO / Executive Director Peer Forum provides a structured and supportive environment for 12 participants to enhance their skills, share experiences, and foster a collaborative community dedicated to nonprofit excellence. Throughout the 8-month engagement, the forum provides an opportunity to learn from and with community nonprofit leaders.
Board Member and Donor Speaker Series bring together leading experts in the nonprofit sector to share their insights and expertise. These influential leaders discuss the latest trends, innovative strategies, and best practices in navigating the challenges of the nonprofit landscape. Participants gain valuable perspectives from individuals who have made significant contributions to social impact, philanthropy, and community development. This series provides inspiration and practical wisdom for both board members and philanthropists committed to making a positive difference in our community.
Our Community Belonging Cohort builds capacity among individuals and organizations to champion equity efforts in the community. The annual cohort is comprised of approximately 40 committed leaders from local companies and organizations, and requires a time commitment of 30+ hours between May and September. Topics of focus include establishing a common language and framework for critical analysis with an explicit focus on race, exploring historical foundations of structural racism and how those impact current practices and outcomes, and more. Applications open in February.
Leader Lab addresses the important need for diverse representation on nonprofit boards, committees, and other leadership bodies throughout Park City and Summit County. The comprehensive, seven-month program is for emerging leaders from underrepresented communities, including Latinx, LGBTQ+, and other groups, to enhance their skills and networks needed to take on meaningful decision-making roles. By providing targeted training, mentorship, and networking opportunities, Leader Lab creates sustainable pathways for community members who have historically been excluded from decision-making spaces.

“The roundtable discussions are immensely valuable, not only to the nonprofit sector but to the Park City community. The valuable information that is shared, contemplated, deliberated and debated brings about best practices for every nonprofit executive, allowing them to work with community members in a more meaningful way. I will never miss a roundtable!”
“The roundtables have been a great source of networking as well as food for thought. Nonprofit work can be draining and discouraging at times. Knowing that others are facing some of the same challenges and sharing ideas and resources with each other is wonderful. Thank you!”
