The Community Foundation of Jackson Hole has provided grant funding that will serve as the needed spark for 26 local nonprofits.
The foundation awarded its inaugural group of nonprofits, focusing its funding on behavioral health, housing and out-of-school time for youth.
Other persistent community issues addressed through the grants included water quality and management, e-bike safety, and access to food, health care, recreation opportunities and the arts.
