Come and learn about our newly released Strategic Plan

On Wednes­day, Jan­u­ary 29 from 3:00 to 5:00 pm at Teton Coun­ty Library’s Ord­way Audi­to­ri­um, the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of Jack­son Hole will host an infor­mal gath­er­ing for the com­mu­ni­ty to learn about its new­ly released Strate­gic Plan. Dur­ing the drop-in event, Foun­da­tion staff will be on hand to answer ques­tions about the plan, which is focused on Ini­tia­tives (Behav­ioral Health, Edu­ca­tion and Fam­i­lies, and Hous­ing Solu­tions), impact invest­ing, new office space, and grants.

We believe in the pow­er of com­mu­ni­ty engage­ment, that com­mu­ni­ty dri­ves our work, and our updat­ed strate­gic plan direct­ly reflects the voic­es of our neigh­bors,” remarked Foun­da­tion Pres­i­dent Lau­rie Andrews. Over the past year, we’ve lis­tened to the needs and desires of local orga­ni­za­tions, part­ners, and our res­i­dents. This feed­back shapes our roadmap for the next three years. I hope our com­mu­ni­ty will come to weigh in so we con­tin­ue to meet the evolv­ing needs of our locals through col­lab­o­ra­tion, inno­va­tion and shared action.”

In 2022, the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of Jack­son Hole launched a 3‑year Strate­gic Plan in response to the pan­dem­ic and with com­mu­ni­ty feed­back. In 2024, Foun­da­tion staff and board began to envi­sion the com­ing three years. The process began by lis­ten­ing to and learn­ing from the com­mu­ni­ty through lis­ten­ing ses­sions. Feed­back from non­prof­it part­ners, invest­ed part­ners, and board mem­bers helped to inform the next iter­a­tion of the strate­gic plan, which began at the Foundation’s Board Retreat last June. Staff lead­er­ship dis­tilled themes from lis­ten­ing ses­sions and the board retreat, which served as the guide­posts for the plan’s pri­or­i­ties, oper­at­ing plan, and bud­get through 2027. The Foundation’s Board of Direc­tors approved the plan in Decem­ber 2024.
