Grants in Action: TVSEF Ski Free Day

The Teton Valley Ski Education Foundation is a local nonprofit with a focus on providing an affordable winter sports program that offers skill improvement and leadership training,  builds self-confidence, and creates within each athlete a lifelong love of winter sports.

A rather key mission in a valley that experiences nearly 8 months of winter.

TVSEF received a Community Foundation grant to support their “Ski Free with Bobcats and Tigers” event that showcased the skiing programs they offer for local kids age 5 to 12.  Our grant helped offset the cost of the day for participants.

Teton Valley Non-Profits, A group of individuals clad in ski gear gather on a snow-blanketed slope, adjacent to a ski lift and an information board. Majestic trees and towering mountains frame the scene, underscoring the Community Foundation of Teton Valley's commitment to supporting local non-profits and businesses through charitable giving. This picturesque setting symbolizes the foundation's efforts to foster community cohesion, ensuring resources are available to enhance both recreational facilities and essential services that benefit all residents. The Tin Cup Challenge & Run is the CFTV annual giving event day.

A total of 39 kids skied for four hours with coaches and parent helpers, and learned more about how to get up off the couch and experience the fun side of winter.  This free day translated into a significant increase in participation in the TVSEFs winter programs, with over 70 kids signing up for their Bobcat and Tiger winter ski programs.

By investing in programs that enrich lives and promote outdoor activities, the foundation fosters a spirit of togetherness and ensures opportunities for recreation are accessible to all residents and visitors alike. The Tin Cup Challenge & Run is the CFTV annual giving event day.
