About the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole    

Since 1989, the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole has excelled in the business of philanthropy working with donors and non-profits to enrich all aspects of our community and our world.  The Foundation enables donors to establish personal philanthropic funds including donor advised, endowment, field of interest funds and legacy funds to facilitate their giving.  With assets of over $29 million, the Foundation surpassed $100 million dollars in lifetime grants in 2006.  Annually, the Foundation organizes Old Bill’s Fun Run for Charities, an innovative fundraiser for local non-profits. In the past ten years more than 15,000 people have participated in the event and over $45.7 million has been raised for local non-profits.  By connecting people who care with causes that matter, the Community Foundation is keeping Jackson whole. 

About Old Bill’s Fun Run for Charities

The first event of its kind in the nation, the idea for Old Bill’s Fun Run for Charities came from an anonymous couple that has so far provided a $5 million in matching funds over ten-years to encourage local philanthropy.  Through the event, organized annually by the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, the community has raised more than $45.7 million to benefit local charities.  Last year, Old Bill’s Fun Run 10 for Charities raised in excess of $6.8 million for 205 local non-profits with 2,800 people running, walking or wheeling in the event.  Old Bill’s Fun Run 11 for Charities will be held on September 8, 2007.
