The Community Foundation of Teton Valley is excited to announce 2024 Competitive Grant Awardees. Thanks to the generosity of Tin Cup Challengers, the Community Foundation was able to award nineteen Competitive Grants to Teton Valley nonprofits through this year’s Competitive Grant Program. The Grant Committee awarded $80,000 directly to local organizations in support of programs and projects that will elevate lives in Teton Valley. Additionally, the Community Foundation recently granted $10,000 to a health and human service-oriented nonprofit through the Opportunity Fund.
Twenty-seven organizations submitted applications through the Competitive Grant program for a total request of $174,942. Applications were given equal weight and attention by our dedicated volunteer Grant Committee, who works together to determine this focused funding. Six proposals were fully funded, while 13 saw partial application funding. By backing these projects today, the Foundation helps support the future of these organizations and their dedicated programming. All awardees gathered at the Community Foundation to celebrate a total of $90,000 granted in support of critical community needs.
