Women’s Giving Fund finalists compete for $150,000 Summit County grant

Three Summit County nonprofits are competing for a $150,000 Women’s Giving Fund package that will send $90,000 to one winner and $30,000 each to the other two, with Park City Community Foundation members deciding the high-impact grant through July 12. The finalists are PC READS, St. Mary’s Catholic Church Charitable Assistance Program and Summit County Clubhouse, and the award will be celebrated July 15.

Park City Community Foundation named the finalists June 23 and opened voting the same day for its 2,400-plus Women’s Giving Fund members, each of whom commits at least $1,000 and can split payments into monthly installments. Members can meet the finalists and hear about their proposals at a happy hour at Alpine Distilling Social Aid & Pleasure Club.

PC READS’ proposal would support advocate staffing, dyslexia screenings, professional development and expanded outreach to Spanish-speaking and underserved women and children across Summit County. PC READS is Park City’s resource for children with dyslexia and centers on identifying, supporting and celebrating differences while advocating for struggling readers.

St. Mary’s Catholic Church Charitable Assistance Program and Summit County Clubhouse are the other finalists. The Women’s Giving Fund has backed local causes ranging from mental health services and childcare to healthcare access and family support.

In 2025, the Women’s Giving Fund awarded the same $150,000 total, with Wasatch Immigration Project receiving the $90,000 high-impact grant and Peace House and SOS Outreach each getting $30,000. Across all of its grantmaking, Park City Community Foundation put $10.84 million into the community in fiscal 2024, including $125,000 through the Women’s Giving Fund, and $12.5 million into Park City and Summit County in fiscal 2025, bringing cumulative impact since 2007 to $82 million.
