Park City showed its heart once again during the 15th annual Live PC Give PC, rallying the community for a record-breaking day of generosity. On November 7, residents, visitors, and supporters united to raise a record-breaking $5,511,752 for more than 140 local nonprofits—surpassing this year’s goal by more than half a million dollars.
“The Park City community is remarkably generous,” said Joel Zarrow, Park City Community Foundation President and CEO. “Together, we lifted up more than 140 nonprofits that make Park City and Summit County such an extraordinary place. Those who live, work, and play here recognized today’s challenges and stepped up accordingly to surpass our wildest expectations.”
The day’s energy rippled across town as 6,478 donors joined the 24-hour giving blitz. Their contributions pushed the event’s all-time total to more than $40 million raised since Live PC Give PC launched in 2011.
Friendly Competition Fuels Giving
A little contest always adds extra spark, and this year’s prize pool—more than $47,000—helped energize participants.
On the All Nonprofits leaderboard, sponsored by Park City Mountain Vail Resorts EpicPromise, the Mountain Trails Foundation clinched the top spot and a $1,250 prize. Summit Land Conservancy followed with $1,000, and Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter earned $750 for third place. (View to full list of winners here.)
The Park City Community Foundation also honored nonprofits demonstrating standout momentum. Wasatch Trails Foundation and Youth Sports Alliance each received $1,750 for year-over-year donor growth. The Spirit Awards, sponsored by High West Distillery, went to the Latinos in Action club at Park City High School and the Arts Council of Park City & Summit County for their enthusiasm and community engagement.
Community Foundation Initiatives Benefit in a Big Way
Zarrow expressed deep gratitude for those who chose to support the Community Foundation directly.
“We’re especially grateful to everyone who donated to Park City Community Foundation,” he said. “Our organization alone raised $718,510 to build community belonging, support a thriving workforce, and create a sustainable future.”
Of that total, $326,975 will fuel the foundation’s cornerstone initiatives, including Zero Food Waste, Youth United, Women’s Giving Fund, and the Early Childhood Alliance—programs that strengthen both immediate needs and long-term community well-being.
A Legacy of Local Impact
Live PC Give PC continues to serve as one of Utah’s most engaging philanthropic traditions. As the state’s first crowdfunding-style giving day, the event has connected thousands of first-time donors of all ages to causes they care about. And the movement’s momentum shows no signs of slowing.
