Inspiring an Inclusive Community
In Park City we have a vision of a complete community where everyone has equitable access to opportunity and feels respected, included, safe, and empowered. Disparities are real here, and with the growth of greater Park City comes the opportunity to preserve our sense of community and ensure that inequalities are not rising. We prioritize equity challenges in all our work and initiatives.
The Community Foundation facilitates Equity Advancement Cohorts with dozens of stakeholders to further the equity conversations and actions within local government, businesses, and nonprofits.
In 2018, we partnered with Park City Municipal Corporation, to build greater social equity. Park City Municipal established Social Equity as a critical priority and named the Community Foundation as the social equity community convener. The Community Foundation brought together a coalition that identified existing social equity resources and gaps, prioritized the most significant and addressable social equity challenges, and developed a multi-year strategic plan. The resulting Community Social Equity Strategic Plan focused on the three key areas that the community identified (housing, education, and inclusion), and actionable programs such as Solomon Fund and the Early Childhood Alliance have been implemented.

Park City Equity Advancement Cohort
Park City Community Foundation is committed to supporting the local nonprofit community in its efforts to embed equity deeply into their practices. We facilitate Equity Advancement Cohorts with dozens of stakeholders to build capacity amongst individuals and organizations to champion and direct equity efforts at an organizational level. Cohort participants meet regularly over six months to learn about best practices for our community, discuss common challenges faced, review case studies, and share their own journeys.
