Park City Community Foundation Announces Three Women’s Giving Fund Grantee Finalists for 2025

A Total of $150,000 will Be Awarded to Three Organizations, and Women’s Giving Fund Members Can Vote for the High-Impact Grant Through July 13

Park City, Utah (Monday, June 23, 2025) – Park City Community Foundation is proud to announce the three finalists for its annual Women’s Giving Fund grant: Peace House, SOS Outreach, and Wasatch Immigration Project.

A total of $150,000 will be granted at the Women’s Giving Fund Grant Celebration on July 15. One finalist will receive the high-impact grant of $90,000, while the other two will each receive $30,000. Women’s Giving Fund members are asked to cast their vote for the high-impact grant now through July 13, 2025.

“This year’s grant reiterates the power of collective giving; $150,000 is an unprecedented amount for us to grant,” said Anna Frachou, Chair of the Women’s Giving Fund Steering Committee. “When we started this fund 11 years ago, we were granting $30,000. Together, we have made it possible to deeply support organizations that are creating real, lasting change for women+ and children in our community.”

Since its founding, the Women’s Giving Fund has been dedicated to improving the lives of women+ and children in Park City and Summit County. The Fund includes 2,300 local women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals, and has granted a collective $508,000 to local nonprofits. This year, the fund will award its largest grant to date, bringing the total granted since 2014 to $658,000.

Each finalist submitted a proposal outlining how they would use the high-impact grant to make a difference:

• Peace House will equip all K–12 students in Summit County with age-appropriate violence prevention education by retaining a dedicated Prevention Specialist to deliver body and relationship safety curriculum in local schools.
• SOS Outreach will support more than 500 Summit County youth with year-round programming that fosters belonging, resilience, and leadership through outdoor recreation, mentoring, and social-emotional learning, led by a full-time program coordinator.
• Wasatch Immigration Project will provide consistent, affordable immigration legal services to women and children in Park City and the Wasatch Back by sustaining a full-time staff attorney and expanding its team of volunteer attorneys to meet growing demand.

Members can learn more about each finalist and cast their vote at parkcitycf.org/votewgf. In addition, Women’s Giving Fund members are invited to meet the finalists and ask questions over coffee on Wednesday, June 25 from 9-10am at Lucky Ones at Park City Library.

Voting is open until July 13, and the high-impact grantee will be announced at the Grant Celebration on July 15 at Legacy Lodge at Park City Mountain. Park City Community Foundation thanks Park City Mountain, supported through Vail Resorts EpicPromise, and CVMA for sponsoring this year’s celebration.
