Urgent & Emergent Issues

Tracking and tackling the issues with community-focused solutions.

Park City Community Foundation is a partner for tackling urgent and emergent issues and for bringing bold ideas to life. By constantly identifying needs that are not being addressed, we have a keen understanding of our community's most pressing issues.

Crisis Response

The Community Foundation is here when a crisis happens. We raised and distributed $3.8 million during Covid-19, and are prepared to activate our crisis response fund in the event of a local emergency.

Community Belonging

We promote community belonging and kindness to help address hate and bigotry, and this work is embedded in all that we do. In 2025, we launched our Community Belonging Fund to support local families and neighbors facing urgent needs due to immigration-related concerns.

Mental Wellness

We were a key player in starting our local Mental Wellness Alliance, and we continue to support mental health by partnering with other foundations, nonprofits, and government to increase access to services, especially for under-resourced residents.

Find local resources by visiting the Summit County Mental Wellness Alliance’s website.

Affordable Housing

We believe that access to affordable and attainable housing is one of the biggest issues in our area. Our hope is that Park City and Summit County can continue to be a place where people from diverse backgrounds and income levels can live.

community buy-in

Living here and working here creates a level of investment and buy-in that’s incredibly valuable for the community. When your workforce can live where they serve, everything functions better. People build relationships and have a deeper understanding of the community’s needs.
