The Wyss Foundation is pleased to announce a $1,500,000 grant to the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, a nonprofit organization that improves lives through philanthropic leadership.

This grant enables the Community Foundation to address the most pressing challenges in the Jackson Hole community through three initiatives: behavioral health, housing solutions, and education and families. These initiatives create unique opportunities for the Community Foundation to connect and convene partners, so it can collaboratively address issues that the community has identified as critical. 

“The Wyss Foundation's grant is helping to address the root causes of our community’s most pressing issues, to fill gaps in the systems and to make a difference in the most critical aspects of their lives," said Community Foundation of Jackson Hole president, Laurie Andrews.

“We’re proud to support the work of the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole,” says Molly McUsic, president of the Wyss Foundation. “The Community Foundation uplifts and empowers its local community to thrive through meaningful initiatives that have a significant impact.”
