Who We Are
Summit Pride was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in 2024 as the next step in our organizational evolution. We started out as the Park City LGBTQ+ Taskforce in 2021, formed by Park City Municipal to evaluate and address the needs of local residents. With their continued support and involvement, we’ve since grown into an independent coalition of queer folks, from all over the Wasatch Back, who support each others’ ideas across a range of projects. Whether through social events, local advocacy, or our charitable programs, we collaborate with our allies to sustain and amplify LGBTQ+ inclusivity in the Wasatch Back so that all people feel a sense of belonging.
Everyone is valued here
In partnership with Park City Community Foundation, we seeded an LGBTQ+ Special Interest Fund. We hope you’ll also contribute, to better enable this amazing group of people.
