Park City Education Foundation - Our Why
We want to give all Park City students the opportunities and skills to successfully navigate a dynamic world, one filled with exciting changes and new challenges we can’t even imagine. We want them to become tomorrow’s creative innovators, problem solvers, and leaders.
That means our schools and educators must constantly evolve, and our funding supports that evolution.
We support four funding priorities to inspire all Park City students to successfully reach their academic and lifelong potential. Within these priorities are more than a hundred programs, supported annually by PCEF with a $1.5 - $2 million dollar contribution. These programs have an impact on every single one of the 4,200 PCSD students.
PCEF is a 501(c)3 nonprofit overseen by an independent Board of Directors made up of parents, educators and community members. We partner with the PCSD to provide funding for programs and initiatives needed by students and teachers. Donations are deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Park City is one of the wealthiest micropolitan areas in the country...
So why don't our schools have all the money they need?
Our schools are excellent even though $170 million of our education tax dollars leave Park City. PCEF funds help keep our district great, and build the foundation for every student to succeed.
Despite this equation, Park City schools are some of the best in the state...
And the Park City Education Foundation is committed to ensuring they stay that way. Since 1986, your gifts fund programs that help every one of our 4,300 students reach their academic and lifelong potential.
100% of your donation stays right here in Park City and funds classroom-centered, research-based programs that support teachers and students in every grade, every day.
Please help us change the equation and support our students, teachers, and schools. Thank you!
