How does it work?
During the 8-week charitable giving period, donors give to their favorite local nonprofits, knowing their gifts will be matched by a grant from the Community Foundation of Teton Valley’s Challenger Fund.
The Challenger Fund
Challengers are a special group of corporations and individuals who give $1,000 or more to the Challenger Fund each year. Gifts to the Challenger Fund are used to host the Tin Cup Challenge and provide matching grants to participating nonprofits. Challengers are community leaders who promote charitable giving and intrinsically value Teton Valley’s nonprofits. The generosity of our Challengers inspires increased community giving and is the key to the Tin Cup Challenge’s success.
