Park City Community Foundation

What Park City Community Foundation does

Park City Community Foundation (PCCF) is a 501(c)(3) community foundation established in 2007 and headquartered at 1918 Prospector Avenue in Park City, Utah. It serves Park City and Summit County by connecting individual donors, local nonprofits, and institutional partners (including Park City Mountain, Vail Resorts EpicPromise, Mountainlands Community Housing Trust, Recycle Utah, and Summit County) to address the region's most pressing challenges. The foundation operates across three strategic priorities: Thriving Workforce, Sustainable Future, and Community Belonging.

The foundation's product set spans giving vehicles (Donor Advised Funds, Planned Giving, Business Sponsorship, Community Pass), collective giving programs (Women's Giving Fund with 2,400+ members, Live PC Give PC annual giving day, now in its 16th year), and thematic community initiatives (Zero Food Waste targeting 2030 landfill elimination, Youth United for youth recreation access, Early Childhood Alliance with documented 325% ROI on childcare scholarships, and the Resource Van mobile outreach program). PCCF runs a Grant Interface grants portal and FCSuite fundholder portal as its operational technology backbone; there is no proprietary AI or data product. The product slate is delivered as free community services with no fees charged to users.

PCCF generates inflows from charitable contributions, donor advised fund balances, planned gifts and bequests, and the annual Live PC Give PC event, which alone raised $5.5M in 2025. Total assets stand at $31.5M against approximately $10.2M-$12.5M in annual contributions, with 648 grants made last year and $82M+ in cumulative community impact since 2007. The organization is led by President and CEO Joel Zarrow with 11-50 employees and is governed by a board that includes executives from partner organizations.
