Old Bill's announces 2024 results

The Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of Jack­son Hole announced that Old Bill’s Fun Run 2024 raised a total of $23,400,067 in sup­port of local non­prof­its. This effort rep­re­sents 23,597 indi­vid­ual gifts from 4,009 donors. The match pool, cre­at­ed with gifts from Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill, CoChal­lengers and Friends totaled $5,585,938, and par­tic­i­pat­ing orga­ni­za­tions received $17,814,129 in gifts des­ig­nat­ed specif­i­cal­ly for them. Over the last 28 years, Old Bill’s has gen­er­at­ed a total of $280,060,501 for Teton Coun­ty nonprofits. 

“Old Bill’s embod­ies the spir­it of our com­mu­ni­ty — it’s vibrant, sup­port­ive, and full of ener­gy,” said Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion Pres­i­dent Lau­rie Andrews. ​“It’s tru­ly inspir­ing to be part of this event and wit­ness how our com­mu­ni­ty comes togeth­er for the ben­e­fit of our non­prof­its and the diverse caus­es they champion.” 

Par­tic­i­pat­ing orga­ni­za­tions received a 65.6% match­ing grant through Old Bill’s this year, which means that non­prof­its that raised $30,000 or more in des­ig­nat­ed gifts received a match­ing grant of $19,670 from the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion. Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill gen­er­ous­ly pro­vid­ed the first $1,000,000 in match­ing funds for this year’s event. Since the event’s incep­tion, Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill have donat­ed $16,000,000 to the match pool. This Giv­ing Sea­son 16 CoChal­lengers donat­ed to the Old Bill’s Match Fund for the first time and four increased their gift from last year. In total, a record 107 CoChal­lengers part­nered with Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill this year. CoChal­lengers and Friends of the Match do not des­ig­nate their gifts for spe­cif­ic non­prof­its, and instead, their gifts pro­vide the match­ing grants that all par­tic­i­pat­ing non­prof­its are eli­gi­ble to receive. 

“Old Bill’s unites our com­mu­ni­ty in sup­port of local non­prof­its and the vital work they do,” said Julie O’Halloran, Board Chair of the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of Jack­son Hole. ​“The incred­i­ble gen­eros­i­ty of thou­sands of com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers makes this event pos­si­ble year after year.” 

The Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion fundrais­es the entire­ty of the Match Fund, which pro­vides Old Bill’s match­ing grants, cov­ers admin­is­tra­tion for the event, mak­ing Old Bill’s free for every­one, and sup­ports the Foundation’s grants programs. 

Thank you to Mr. & Mrs. Old Bill, the CoChal­lengers, non­prof­its, and the donors and vol­un­teers who make this event successful.
