The Community Foundation of Teton Valley is excited to announce the 2022 Competitive Grant Awardees. Thanks to the generosity of Tin Cup Challengers, the Community Foundation was able to award 16 Competitive Grants to Teton Valley nonprofits through this year’s Competitive Grant Program. In total, the Community Foundation awarded $71,248, our largest amount to date, to directly support programs and projects that will elevate lives in Teton Valley.
Twenty-four organizations submitted applications for a total ask of $142,001. Applications were given equal weight and attention by our dedicated, volunteer Grant Committee who works together to determine this focused funding. By backing these projects today, we help support the future of these organizations and their programming to ensure they will be here consistently and definitively when our community most needs them.
