Challengers are a special group of businesses and individuals who give $1,000 or more to the Challenger Fund annually. Gifts to the Challenger Fund are used to directly benefit local nonprofits and can be given anytime, throughout the year. Challengers are community leaders who promote charitable giving and intrinsically value Teton Valley’s nonprofits. The generosity of our Challengers inspires increased community giving and is the key to the Tin Cup Challenge’s success.
Challengers Fund:
- A partial Matching Grant for participating nonprofits during the Tin Cup Challenge.
- Costs associated with the 6-week Tin Cup Challenge Giving Period & Event Day – ensuring nonprofits receive 100% of their designated donations.
- The Community Foundation of Teton Valley’s Competitive Grant Program, Youth Philanthropy, and Nonprofit Workshops for board and staff.
