PARK CITY, Utah — Park City Community Foundation strives to create an enduring philanthropic community that benefits all the people of greater Park City. They established the Community Fund with the goal of providing unrestricted funding to local nonprofit organizations that support the health of our community. Apply online by July 3. For technical questions or issues with the grants management system, including first-time login assistance, reach out to Minda Boland (minda@parkcitycf.org).

Areas of Support

Dozens of grants in the range of $2,500-$15,000 are available annually for arts and culture, education, sports and recreation, children and families, physical or mental health and human services, youth services, conservation and environment, housing security, and other community-based efforts.

Types of Support

Grants can be used for unrestricted support, including, but not limited to, operating, equipment, startup costs, consulting services, technical assistance, research, measurement and evaluation, demonstration, capacity building, and matching grants. An application may be submitted as a joint request from multiple organizations. Only one application per organization or alliance per grant cycle will be considered.

Community Fund applicants will be notified on Aug. 16

Applicants will be notified of the Grants Committee decision on Aug. 16, with the annual community fund celebration to be held Sep. 18. Applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements:

Serve people living or working in Summit County (Wasatch County will be considered, although grant making decisions will emphasize organizations based in Summit County that serve Summit County).
Qualify as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization under the Internal Revenue Code.
Applicants without 501(c)(3) status who have applied to the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) for such status may apply. A receipt letter from the IRS is required at the time of application to Park City Community Foundation.
Applicants without 501(c)(3) status but operating under an organization qualified as a 501(c)(3) organization may apply separately if they have the written consent of the qualified organization. In that case, the application must contain a letter of agreement between the two organizations, which sets forth each organization’s responsibilities.
Applicants that are not 501(c)(3) organizations but are implementing charitable activities for the benefit of the citizens of Summit County should contact Park City Community Foundation before applying. Under some circumstances, they are eligible to be considered for funding but may be required to adhere to separate reporting measures and disbursement processes.

Only applications received through their online application system will be considered. Please do not submit applications via email or hard copy.
