How to Give Through Old Bill’s Fun Run

Old Bill’s 2024 Giv­ing Sea­son end­ed on Sep­tem­ber 13.
There are two cat­e­gories for giv­ing: com­mu­ni­ty donors and CoChal­lengers. Com­mu­ni­ty donors make a sin­gle des­ig­nat­ed gift, with their cho­sen amounts allo­cat­ed to spe­cif­ic non­prof­its they wish to sup­port. CoChal­lengers and Friends of the Match pro­vide undes­ig­nat­ed fund­ing to par­tial­ly match the des­ig­nat­ed gifts of com­mu­ni­ty donors, sub­stan­tial­ly increas­ing the impact of each par­tic­i­pat­ing organization’s fundrais­ing efforts.

What is an Old Bill’s Donor?

1 in 3 Teton Coun­ty house­holds donate Old Bil­l’s Fun Run. They come from with­in all parts of our com­mu­ni­ty, moti­vat­ed by a shared vision of philanthropy. 

By donat­ing through Old Bill’s dur­ing the giv­ing sea­son, the impact of each des­ig­nat­ed gift is ampli­fied with addi­tion­al fund­ing pro­vid­ed by CoChal­lengers and Friends of the Match in the form of par­tial match­ing grants.

When the Giv­ing Sea­son opens, it is easy to donate! Go to old​bills​.org, select your favorite non­prof­its, deter­mine how much you wish to give them, and make one tax-deductible dona­tion to the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion for the total amount. Gifts of all sizes are appre­ci­at­ed and con­tribute to a large col­lec­tive impact.

What is an Old Bill’s CoChallenger?

CoChal­lengers are a spe­cial group of indi­vid­u­als and busi­ness­es who donate to the Old Bill’s match pool. These gifts are not ear­marked for spe­cif­ic non­prof­its, but are used to match the community’s dona­tions. Led by Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill, who donate $500,000 annu­al­ly, CoChal­lengers give at lev­els of $25,000 and up. $24,999 are con­sid­ered Friends of the Match.

CoChal­lengers’ gen­eros­i­ty inspires increased com­mu­ni­ty giv­ing and is key to Old Bill’s suc­cess. CoChal­lengers can proud­ly call them­selves com­mu­ni­ty lead­ers who pro­mote char­i­ta­ble giv­ing and intrin­si­cal­ly val­ue phil­an­thropy. Com­bined with com­mu­ni­ty-wide efforts, they high­light the tremen­dous work of local non­prof­its and appre­ci­a­tion of that work.

The Impact of Giving

Over the past 27 years, Old Bill’s Fun Run has raised more than $256 mil­lion for local non­prof­its. Each year, funds raised through Old Bill’s touch the lives of every­one in Teton Coun­ty. Read more about the impact that Old Bil­l’s is mak­ing through­out our community.

  • Old Bil­l’s sig­nif­i­cant­ly impact­ed local pets and their peo­ple in 2023. With infla­tion rates so high, we saw a dra­mat­ic increase in requests for finan­cial assis­tance for emer­gency vet­eri­nary care and spay/​neuter. We were also in local class­rooms teach­ing 4th and 5th-grade stu­dents to be respon­si­ble pet own­ers and to be com­pas­sion­ate to pets. We deliv­ered thou­sands of free mutt mitts on our trails.

  • The Old Bil­l’s Fun Run grant helps GTMF bring world-class musi­cians to Jack­son for all to enjoy. Each year, GTMF musi­cians impact more than 20,000 audi­ence mem­bers, includ­ing near­ly 2,000 Teton Coun­ty chil­dren. Sup­port from the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion, the CoChal­lengers, and all Old Bil­l’s donors helps GTMF bring the high­est qual­i­ty live, clas­si­cal music to res­i­dents and vis­i­tors every summer.

  • Old Bil­l’s played a cru­cial role in address­ing com­mu­ni­ty needs by facil­i­tat­ing the hir­ing of addi­tion­al staff and cov­er­ing employ­ee salaries. This result­ed in expand­ed ser­vices, reach­ing more fam­i­lies and indi­vid­u­als in need. Addi­tion­al­ly, it cre­at­ed one new full-time job oppor­tu­ni­ty, pro­vid­ing eco­nom­ic sta­bil­i­ty and enhanc­ing our capac­i­ty to serve the com­mu­ni­ty effectively.

  • Old Bil­l’s has been instru­men­tal in advanc­ing Native Amer­i­can Jump Start’s mis­sion of sup­port­ing edu­ca­tion and employ­ment of Native peo­ples. With last year’s grant of near­ly $140,000, we are once again host­ing the annu­al Teton Pow­wow on May 18th. This event not only cel­e­brates our rich her­itage but also strength­ens bonds between Jack­son’s diverse com­mu­ni­ties and neigh­bor­ing tribes. By show­cas­ing cul­tur­al tra­di­tions that pre-date the town of Jack­son, we pro­mote under­stand­ing and break down barriers.

  • Dur­ing the aca­d­e­m­ic year, 42 local schol­ars and grad­u­ates received col­lege coun­sel­ing, finan­cial edu­ca­tion, aca­d­e­m­ic sup­port, col­lege advis­ing, career coach­ing, and men­tor­ing. FIF will cel­e­brate 4 col­lege grad­u­ates and hopes to wel­come 10 new schol­ars in 2024. Addi­tion­al­ly, three of the first four col­lege grad­u­ates have returned to Jack­son Hole to live, work and thrive.

  • 2024 marks the sec­ond year for Tum­ble­weed Cre­ative Arts as a rec­og­niz­able com­mu­ni­ty enrich­ing sta­ple. Pre­vi­ous phil­an­thropic sup­port from Old Bil­l’s Fun Run has bol­stered Tum­ble­weed’s pro­gram­ming, and rein­forced the organization’s role as a vital cul­tur­al and cre­ative hub with­in the com­mu­ni­ty. We look for­ward to future endeav­ors that ensure acces­si­bil­i­ty to the trans­for­ma­tive pow­er of per­form­ing arts, and con­tin­u­ing to cre­ate oppor­tu­ni­ties for local artists to have a plat­form for cre­ative expres­sion. T
