The Teton County Education Foundation
Proudly Supporting the Public Schools of Teton County, Wyoming
The Teton County Education Foundation is a community-focused nonprofit organization, founded in 2008.
We are proud to serve as the fundraising arm of Teton County School District #1, raising private funds to support
educational initiatives and programs that require funding outside of the core school budget.
Please Support Our Local Public Schools
While our schools are well funded, many programs are not part of the core district budget. For example, academic club travel and registration fees, field trip expenses and other high impact programs require your support. To make a gift today, mail your check to Teton County Education Foundation, P.O. Box 1048, Jackson WY 83001 or click here to make your gift online.

Fresh Fruit Funding Still Needed
This year funding for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks in our elementary schools was cut by $50,000. We are so grateful to the donors who have contributed almost $20,000. District staff are stretching existing funding as best they can, but the program is still in jeopardy.
