PROFILE: Established in 2007, the Park City Community Foundation (PCCF) is a community funder based in Park City, Utah. Former Mayor Brad Olch and Myles Rademan suggested the idea of a community foundation, which was the first of its kind in the state of Utah. PCCF “identifies community challenges and opportunities, then brings together philanthropists, nonprofits, government officials, business leaders and community members who can help.”

PCCF’s Solomon Fund supports groups working to boost Latino participation in their programs. The foundation also facilitates donor-directed giving and hosts a 24-hour online giving day each year.
