The foundation also honored Sally Cousins Elliott with the Trisha J. Worthington Community Service Award, which recognizes community members who have dedicated an extraordinary time and talent to charitable work.
“Sally has devoted much of her adult life to making Park City and Summit County a better place,” said Don Roll, who nominated her for the award.
Additionally, the Community Foundation announced its latest round of Community Fund grants, which totaled $475,000 across 55 local nonprofits, with $100,000 contributed by Deer Valley Resort. Built from hundreds of individual gifts of every size, the Community Fund is designed to move unrestricted dollars to the organizations delivering essential services across the county.
During its last fiscal year, running July 2025 to June 2026, the Community Foundation gave out a total of $4.7 million through 794 grants to area nonprofits, including grants from the Community Foundation’s initiatives, funds and donor-advised funds.
