Foun­da­tion­al Values

Our Ethos

To improve lives through phil­an­thropic leadership.

We fos­ter authen­tic rela­tion­ships built on integri­ty, mutu­al respect, and inclu­siv­i­ty. We are com­mit­ted to meet­ing the evolv­ing needs of our com­mu­ni­ty to sus­tain a vibrant Jack­son Hole.

Togeth­er we approach every expe­ri­ence and part­ner­ship as an oppor­tu­ni­ty to learn and invest in each oth­er. We nur­ture a col­lab­o­ra­tive and safe envi­ron­ment for all to encour­age mean­ing­ful change.

We believe in con­nect­ing gen­eros­i­ty with oppor­tu­ni­ty. To build a bridge from pas­sion to pur­pose. We lead by under­stand­ing needs first, then by action and inno­va­tion so that cause can meet contribution.

We offer trust and com­pas­sion. We sup­port the unique val­ue, cir­cum­stances, and per­spec­tives of indi­vid­u­als and orga­ni­za­tions. We are mind­ful of our influence.

We open our minds to pos­si­bil­i­ty. In every­thing we do, we are active lis­ten­ers, seek­ing under­stand­ing so that we can improve and adapt to new ideas.
