Women’s Giving Fund

Making high-impact grants to help local women+ and children.

The exponential power of women+ and girls.

When more than 2,000 women and girls of Park City join together, they’re an unstoppable force! Park City Community Foundation’s Women’s Giving Fund makes it possible to support women+ and children in need by awarding high-impact grants to local organizations that are making a difference. But that’s just the beginning. With 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+.

A space for all women+

At Park City Community Foundation, we use women+ to welcome and include all self-identifying women, including cis and transgender women, as well as non-binary and gender-fluid individuals. While our initiative centers women’s voices and is catered to women+, we welcome the support of all allies who share our values.

From $84/month to a $2.2 million endowment.

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. 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. Since 2014 the fund has skyrocketed to over $2.2 million and annual grants to organizations selected by our members have increased to $100,000.
