To protect and preserve our local culture
Jackson, Wyoming
The foundation exists to put money and attention back into the people who make the culture here, so that they can afford to stay and flourish.
That means the artists, the makers and the gathering places that give this valley its character. A working musician, a craftsperson, a room where people come together: these are the things a place loses first and notices last.
On September 20 the foundation gathers at a private home on Paintbrush Trail for an evening of music, food and drink. The evening is one night, and the work is not. You can support it whether or not you are in the room.
Where a gift goes
- 01
The artists
Musicians and performers who make this valley somewhere people want to be, and who increasingly cannot afford to live in it.
- 02
The makers
The craftspeople and small producers whose work is the culture itself, not a souvenir of it.
- 03
The gathering places
The rooms, stages and tables where a valley becomes a community rather than an address.
- 04
The community
Initiatives like Horseshoe on Paintbrush Trail, where a valley invests in its own culture rather than waiting to be invested in.
A place can look prosperous and still be losing the thing that made it worth living in.
