PCEF PROGRAM SUPPORT
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.
PCEF has four funding priorities to inspire all Park City students to successfully reach their academic and lifelong potential:
- Personalized Learning: Preparing Each Student to Meet Their Full Potential
- Real World Learning: Equipping Students for Tomorrow’s Challenges
- Elevating Educators: Supporting Educators In and Out of the Classroom
- Closing the Opportunity Gap: Every Child, Every Chance
Thanks to the support of our community through Build the Foundation, Red Apple Gala, Running with Ed, and donor philanthropy throughout the year, PCEF has already committed to providing $1.4 million in grant funding for the 2026-27 school year.

We also do other work supporting students: In the 2025-26 school year year we provided over $200,000 in scholarships to deserving PCHS seniors. We provide national academic competition travel scholarships so every student who earns a chance to compete can do so. And we helped 20 other school entities such as high school clubs and activities raise nearly $100,000 during Live PC Give PC.
These programs have an impact on each and every one of the 4,200 PCSD students. Only YOU make this happen with your donation to PCEF.
