Community Emergency Response Fund

The Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion is tak­ing steps to proac­tive­ly mit­i­gate neg­a­tive impacts of the June 2024 land­slide on Teton Pass:

• We hope to con­nect avail­able hous­ing options with our neigh­bors affect­ed by the pass clo­sure who need tem­po­rary hous­ing solutions.
  • For our com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers with access to hous­ing, please let us know by fill­ing out this form (Span­ish-lan­guage form here).
  • For our Ida­ho com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers search­ing for a tem­po­rary liv­ing space clos­er to your work, please reach out to us with this form (Span­ish-lan­guage form here). We will con­nect you to oppor­tu­ni­ties as they become available.
• The Foun­da­tion has acti­vat­ed its Com­mu­ni­ty Emer­gency Response Fund to offer grants for orga­ni­za­tions whose oper­a­tions or ser­vices have been sig­nif­i­cant­ly dis­rupt­ed by the Teton Pass clo­sure. Grant­i­ng pri­or­i­ty is giv­en to orga­ni­za­tions pro­vid­ing the fol­low­ing services: 
  • Hous­ing
  • Trans­porta­tion
  • Food pro­duc­tion, sup­ply, deliv­ery, access
  • Edu­ca­tion or childcare
  • Health­care (includ­ing men­tal healthcare)
  • Care of seniors or peo­ple with disabilities
  • Care of animals

Appli­cant orga­ni­za­tions must serve those who live or work in Teton Coun­ty, Wyoming and be acute­ly affect­ed by the Teton Pass closure. 

Please vis­it our grants appli­ca­tion plat­form to access the appli­ca­tion, which is open through July 15. Requests will be reviewed week­ly. (If you rep­re­sent a Teton Coun­ty, Ida­ho orga­ni­za­tion, please send a grant inquiry to the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of Teton Val­ley.)

As the Foun­da­tion gains more infor­ma­tion on the antic­i­pat­ed impacts of this emer­gency, we will reeval­u­ate the length of this grant pro­gram. Orga­ni­za­tions with ongo­ing needs will be con­sid­ered for future funding. 

Through the Com­mu­ni­ty Emer­gency Response Fund, the Foun­da­tion has pro­vid­ed major fund­ing for One22 Resource Cen­ter’s Tem­po­rary Emer­gency Relief for Com­muters pro­gram. Teton Pass com­muters are encour­aged to go through this chan­nel for finan­cial support.
