Women’s Giving Fund Grant Voting is Now Open

Since its inception in 2014, Park City Community Foundation’s Women’s Giving Fund has worked to benefit the lives of women and children in Summit County. Once a year, Women’s Giving Fund members have the opportunity to vote for an organization to receive its annual, high-impact grant of $40,000.

This year, EATS Park City, Jewish Family Service of Utah, and Youth Sports Alliance, have been selected by the Women’s Giving Fund grants committee as finalists for the 2021 grant cycle. On June 8, 2021, each finalist had the opportunity to present their grant proposals, and share touching videos about their organization’s goals to members of the Women’s Giving Fund during a live Q&A event.

Now, it’s time to vote. All Women’s Giving Fund members are encouraged to submit their vote for the organization they think will best serve women and children in the community through June 25. We encourage all members to educate themselves on each organization’s proposal before casting their vote.

Watch and learn more about each finalist’s grant proposals below!
