General Information

Park City partners with local nonprofits to provide valuable services to the community through Public Service Contracts. Contracts are awarded through a competitive RFP process and all awards are subject to the approval of the City Council.

Eligibility

To be considered for funding, organizations must meet the following criteria:

Accountability and Sustainability

  • Quantifiable goals and objectives
  • Non-discrimination in providing programs or services
  • Cooperation with existing related programs and community service
  • Compliance with the City contract
  • Federally recognized not-for-profit status (applicants may also apply under the fiscal sponsorship of a nonprofit organization)

Program Need and Specific City Benefit 

  • A clear demonstration of public benefit and provision of direct services to City residents
  • A demonstrated need for the program or activity
  • Funds may not be used for one-time events, scholarship-type activities, or the purchase of equipment

Fiscal Stability and Other Financial Support

  • A clear description of how public funds will be used and accounted for
  • Other funding sources that can be used to leverage resources
  • A sound financial plan that demonstrates managerial and fiscal competence
  • A history of performing in a financially competent manner

Fair Market Value of Services

  • The fair market value of services included in the public service contract should equal or exceed the total amount of compensation from the City, unless outweighed by demonstrated tangible benefits

In addition to these minimum eligible criteria, applicants will be evaluated on how their proposed programs and services align with City Council priorities, as outlined in the RFP.

Nonprofit Services Advisory Committee

On August 22, 2024, the City Council approved a resolution establishing the Nonprofit Services Advisory Committee. This new public body will evaluate applications from nonprofits, interview applicants, and make award recommendations to the City Council. Click here for more information.
