PROMONTORY FOUNDATION PLEDGES $10,000 IMPACT GRANT TOWARD PARK CITY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION’S COMMUNITY RESPONSE FUND
PARK CITY, UTAH –Three
weeks following the announcement ofthe
partnership between Promontory Foundation, Promontory Club’s 501(c)(3)
non-profit, and Park City Community Foundation to develop Impact Grants within
the Park City community, Promontory Foundation has pledged a $10,000 impact
grant for the Community Response Fund. This fund, hosted by Park City Community
Foundation, is designed to strengthen the ability of local non-profits on the
front line of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) to respond immediately.
“Promontory
Members have asked how they can help, and I am grateful that I can direct them
to The Community Response Fund,” says Robin Milne, Promontory
Foundation President. “We have
asked that our lead grant multiply by at least 10-fold in order to build
$100,000 or more towards this effort to “help the helpers” in Park City.”
The
Community Response Fund, hosted by Park City Community Foundation, will offer
flexible resources to organizations in Summit County working with communities
who are disproportionately impacted by coronavirus and the economic
consequences of this outbreak.
“Promontory Foundation’s generous pledge and
efforts to inspire Park City residents to participate will amplify our efforts
during this challenging time for our community and ensure our local non-profits
can make a meaningful impact in providing essential relief,” says Katie Wright,
Executive Director of Park City Community Foundation. “We encourage everyone in
a position to support the fund to do so by visiting https://parkcitycf.org/communityresponsefund/.”
The fund
will support health and human services non-profits in greater Park City that
are handling cases related to the impact of COVID-19. Targeted operating grants
will fund organizations that have deep roots in community and strong experience
working with residents without health insurance and/or access to sick days,
people with limited English language proficiency, healthcare and gig economy
workers, and communities of color, among others.
The first
phase of rapid-response grants, initiated within the next few weeks, will
increase resiliency in disproportionately affected communities by addressing
the economic impact of reduced and lost work due to the broader COVID-19
outbreak, and the immediate needs of economically vulnerable populations caused
by COVID-19 related closures.
