Community Foundation and other nonprofits to keep their services open SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record The recent restrictions on businesses, churches, recreational and cultural venues Summit County announced Sunday as a preventative measure to help slow the spread of COVID-19 has already impacted many hourly workers in town. While the restrictions are scheduled to end on April 16, local humanitarian nonprofits such as the Park City Community Foundation, Christian Center of Park City and Jewish Family Service are revving up their engines to help any way they can. Two days before Summit County announced the restrictions, the Park City Community Foundation activated the Community Response Fund, which will quickly deploy financial resources to community-based organizations that are “disproportionately impacted” by the virus and its economic consequences, said executive director Katie Wright. “The fund is set up to help our community’s most vulnerable population,” Wright said. “These are the people who work hourly, gig-related jobs, and it also includes those in health care who are working to help us through the crisis.” Park City Community Foundation will create rapid-response grants to critical nonprofits that help with food security, emergency assistance and whatever additional needs that come up in the future, according to Wright. “If we hear from the hospital, or schools, or other nonprofits such as the People’s Health Clinic or Peace House, we will be prepared to help,” she said. “We also know that many in our nonprofit community already work with vulnerable people every day. So it’s really important that we rely on their expertise to let them do what they do best. That way we won’t set up new systems that will impede help getting to the ones that need it.” Working with other nonprofits helps the Park City Community Foundation learn about other emerging needs in the area, and Wright said she is keeping her ear to the ground. “We have folks who represent different nonprofits and key community members who have been convening via conference calls to learn what some of these emerging needs are,” she said. “We will also be serving the whole nonprofit community through brief surveys to make sure we have an idea of what’s coming, because it’s very unpredictable just how this all will impact us.” The idea for the Community Response Fund was inspired by Park City Community Foundation’s connection with other foundations across the country, Wright said. We’re following the best practices in disaster philanthropy...” Katie Wright, Park City Community Foundation executive director “Some of these have experienced crises in the past, and some are feeling the current crisis more acutely,” she said. “So we’re following the best practices in disaster philanthropy.” The general public can help Park City Community Foundation through donations, so the nonprofit can continue to make the grants as long as it needs to, Wright said. “In these times the needs are unpredictable, so I would encourage people to really think about their donations of giving general support, because those dollars can be flexible to address new needs in the community,” she said. The Park City Community Foundation is accepting donations over the phone at 435-731-4250 or online at parkcitycf.org. Christian Center of Park City Although the Christian Center of Park City has had to close most of its campus on Deer Valley Drive, its food pantry and counseling service continues to serve the community, said executive director Rob Harter. “These are the two essential programs, particularly in times of crisis, that we have to make sure are open,” Harter said. The counseling services will be done in the safest manner possible, according to Harter.
