Thanks to our community’s generosity, grants from Park City Community Foundation made a huge impact in 2021! Here are just a few highlights from various funds and initiatives:
– Our biggest win was the Community Response Fund for COVID-19 which brought together philanthropy, government, and business partners to rapidly deploy resources to those who were highly impacted by the pandemic. Between March 2020 and June 2021, grants from the Community Response Fund to local nonprofits totaled over $3.4 million. A comprehensive measurement and evaluation report shows the positive impact that these grants had and explains where donations went.
