How to Give Through the
Tin Cup Challenge

2025 Giv­ing Period is June 13 — July 25.

There are two ways to give during the Tin Cup Challenge. Community Donors make a sin­gle des­ig­nat­ed gift, with their cho­sen amounts allo­cat­ed to spe­cif­ic non­prof­its they wish to sup­port. Challengers and Friends of the Challenge give undesignated funds that help partially match those gifts—boosting the impact for every participating organization. It’s a powerful way to come together and make local giving go even further.

What is a Tin Cup Donor?

One in three households in Teton Valley give through the Tin Cup Challenge—it’s a true community effort. Donations come in all sizes, from all over the valley, united by a shared commitment to giving back. When you give during the Tin Cup Giving Period, your designated gifts are boosted by additional funding from Challengers and Friends of the Challenge through a partial match grant.

It’s easy to give: just pick your favorite nonprofits, decide how much you want to give to each, and make one tax-deductible donation to the Community Foundation. Every gift counts and adds up to something big for our community.

Tin Cup Challengers

What is a Tin Cup Challenger?

Chal­lengers are a spe­cial group of indi­vid­u­als and busi­ness­es who donate to the Challenger Fund. These gifts are not ear­marked for spe­cif­ic non­prof­its, but are used to match the community’s dona­tions. Chal­lengers generously give at lev­els of $1,500+.

Chal­lengers’ gen­eros­i­ty inspires increased com­mu­ni­ty giv­ing and is key to Tin Cup’s suc­cess. Chal­lengers can proud­ly call them­selves com­mu­ni­ty lead­ers who pro­mote char­i­ta­ble giv­ing and intrin­si­cal­ly val­ue phil­an­thropy. Com­bined with com­mu­ni­ty-wide efforts, they high­light the tremen­dous work of local non­prof­its and appre­ci­a­tion of that work.

Tin Cup Challengers Become a Challenger

Volunteer

To make the Tin Cup Challenge a suc­cess, more than 200 vol­un­teers are need­ed before, dur­ing, and after the event. Thank you to all the vol­un­teers who give of their time each year!

Tin Cup Captains

The Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion is deeply grate­ful for the 636 volunteer hours that make the Event Day pos­si­ble. At the core of our vol­un­teer pow­er­house are our Tin Cup Captains. In part­ner­ship with the our Program Manager, this team works tire­less­ly through­out the sum­mer to plan and exe­cute Event Day. Thank you to the Tin Cup Captains for their time, tal­ent, and com­mit­ment to community.

In-Kind Donors

What is an In-Kind Donor?

Tin Cup relies on the gen­eros­i­ty of dozens of local busi­ness­es and non­prof­its that donate goods and ser­vices to the event. 

The Shirt Off Their Back Givers

It is with deep gratitude that we recognize and celebrate our Tin Cup Challenge In-Kind Donors. Their generous discounts and local services keep our production costs low so that more Challenger dollars can be invested back into our community.

Thank you!
