Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s 2024 filing states that it brings together caring donors, expert nonprofits, and community leaders to contribute resources and ideas for the benefit of the people of greater Park City. Its website says its mission is to help solve the area’s greatest challenges.
The Community Fund provides unrestricted grants to local nonprofits working on community needs. Listed support areas include arts and culture, education, recreation, children and families, health and human services, youth services, conservation and environment, and housing security.
The foundation also operates or supports initiatives focused on early childhood, youth access to extracurricular activities, climate solutions, mental wellness, and community belonging. In 2024, its filing reported that the Early Childhood Fund granted more than $350,000 to local nonprofits, while Youth United provided $319,000 in scholarships for sports and extracurriculars. These scholarships support program participants rather than outside grant applicants.
Examples of grantee missions illustrate the range of organizations supported. Utah Open Lands says it works to preserve and protect open space in perpetuity.
