Serenity Fund focuses on local community strengthening in and around Jackson, WY, funneling sizeable general-purpose gifts to community infrastructure and direct service organizations. Their giving centers on family- and child-focused health and services, animal welfare, and hunger/food-rescue efforts, with an emphasis on flexible general support rather than narrowly restricted project funding. They repeatedly fund a small set of organizations, suggesting long-term relationships with core local partners.
Serenity Fund’s recent giving shows a small circle of recurring partners, with several grants repeated across years and a clear preference for general support. One anchor relationship is with the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, which received $50,000 in 2025 after a $50,000 grant in 2024, pointing to sustained support for local community infrastructure. Another is Hole Food Rescue, which received $25,000 in 2025 and had also been awarded $10,000 in both 2024 and 2023, alongside work tied to hunger relief. The funder also backs family and child-focused health and services through grants such as $50,000 to Rady Children’s Hospital in 2025 and support for Padres Foundation in multiple years. Animal welfare is part of the pattern as well, with a 2025 grant to Fuzzy Friends Foundation. Across these relationships, Serenity Fund appears to favor sizable, flexible gifts to a compact set of organizations rather than broad, one-off grantmaking.
In community capacity-building, Serenity Fund gave $50,000 to Community Foundation of Jackson Hole in 2025 for general support, following a $50,000 grant there in 2024. That pairing signals sustained backing for local infrastructure in Jackson. In food rescue and hunger relief, the funder awarded $25,000 to Hole Food Rescue in 2025 and $10,000 in both 2024 and 2023, showing repeated support for the same local provider. Family and youth services also appear in the record: Padres Foundation received $50,000 in 2025 after grants of $25,000 in 2024 and $20,000 in 2023. Animal welfare is another thread, with $50,000 going to Fuzzy Friends Foundation in 2025.
Serenity Fund’s typical grant size is $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $21,250 at the 75th percentile. The recent record includes both repeated awards and larger renewal grants, which suggests relationship-based funding rather than isolated one-time gifts. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its recent grants are largely general support, with some medical support language appearing in the record.
