The Jackson Hole Children's Museum is proud to share that we have been awarded a 2024 Catalyst Grant from the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole.
This inaugural cycle of Catalyst Grants will support 26 local nonprofit organizations with nearly $1.5 million in funding. This newly established grantmaking channel supports four distinct programs: Behavioral Health Initiative grants, Education & Families Initiative grants, Housing Solutions Initiative grants, and Opportunities grants.Within their theme, each of the four program areas share a single goal to address complex community issues by funding innovative strategies and partnerships.
Through Catalyst 2024, the Foundation strengthens its investment in critical work across three core initiatives, and this round of grants focuses on behavioral health and housing, and out-of-school time for youth. Other persistent community problems addressed through these grants include water quality and management, e-bike safety, and access to food, healthcare, recreational opportunities, and the arts.
The Jackson Hole Children's Museum will be using this funding to expand access for our local community to play-based learning experiences by providing free access vouchers to 100% of the estimated 1200 elementary students of the Teton County School District that go through our STEAM-based programming. Additionally, with our new facility, we hope expand hours to better meet the out-of-school needs of families.
