Park City, Utah (Tuesday, July 15, 2025) – Park City Community Foundation announced that Wasatch Immigration Project was voted the 2025 Women’s Giving Fund high-impact grantee. Members of Women’s Giving Fund voted between three local organizations that support women+ and children in Summit County, and Wasatch Immigration Project was selected to receive this year’s biggest grant of $90,000. The other two finalists, Peace House and SOS Outreach, each received $30,000.
A record amount of $150,000 was awarded to the three organizations, an increase from the $125,000 that was granted in 2024. Wasatch Immigration Project will use the funds to 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.
“There is something really powerful about women+ coming together to support our local nonprofits that provide critical work in our community,” said Rebecca Blanchette, Member Services Manager at Park City Community Foundation. “We are able to increase our grants each year because of our 2,300 members that choose to invest and re-invest in women and children in our area.”
As an initiative of Park City Community Foundation, Women’s Giving Fund works to benefit the lives of women+ and children in Park City and Summit County. The group includes over 2,300 local women, girls, non-binary, and gender-fluid individuals. Women become members for life by making a $1,000 contribution to the fund, which is endowed by the Community Foundation and provides grants to local nonprofits from its earnings in perpetuity. Women can also nominate someone to receive an honorary membership. Group members meet throughout the year and have collectively granted $658,000 since 2015.
Previous organizations that have received funds from Women’s Giving Fund include The People’s Health Clinic, PC Tots, The Hope Alliance, Jewish Family Service, Peace House, Holy Cross Ministries, and others. There were 25 applications this year for this grant, the most that the Fund has ever seen.
“Each year, we see more applications, which is both exciting and highlights the ongoing need in our community,” said Anna Frachou, Chair of the Women’s Giving Fund Steering Committee. The Committee is responsible for reviewing grant applications and picking three finalists every year.
Park City Community Foundation hosted its annual Women’s Giving Fund Grant Celebration at Legacy Lodge on July 15, where members celebrated the finalists and announced the high-impact grant. The event sponsor was Park City Mountain Resort, supported through Vail Resorts EpicPromise, and CVMA.
