Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more. -H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Jackson Hole is home to over 200 non-profit organizations which is a staggering amount for a community of our size. In fact, we have a yearly event called Old Bill’s Fun Run for Charities that in 2017 raised over 12.1 million dollars for local charities. It is one of the biggest local philanthropic events in the country, and since it’s inception has raised over 133 million dollars. Obviously, we live in a very generous community and, like so many others here, feel it is important to engage with these non-profits to improve the welfare of everyone. One way to engage is by contributing to a non-profit either by giving your time or your money. We have given one or the other or both to all of the ones listed below.

Additionally, we give monthly to a cause that helps bring fresh water to underdeveloped areas of the world because EVERYONE should have access to fresh water. https://www.charitywater.org
