The Jaquith Family Foundation concentrates its giving on local arts and cultural institutions in the Jackson Hole/Teton region, providing flexible, unrestricted support to performing arts organizations. Their grants favor established regional presenters — from a major summer music festival to the community arts center and a local theater troupe — signaling a commitment to sustaining cultural life in their immediate community.
Concentrated, place-based giving: a few relatively large, unrestricted gifts to local arts organizations rather than many small or geographically dispersed grants.
Grand Teton Music Festival, Jackson Hole Center for the Arts, Off Square Theater Co
A $75,000 unrestricted gift to the Grand Teton Music Festival in 2025 stands out in the Jaquith Family Foundation’s recent giving and points to a clear pattern: sustained support for cultural institutions in the Jackson Hole and Teton region. The foundation’s largest grants sit alongside repeated unrestricted awards to local arts groups, including Jackson Hole Center for the Arts and Off Square Theater Co., suggesting a preference for flexible support rather than project-only funding. Across the recent grant list, the foundation backs organizations that keep regional cultural life active year after year. Performing arts recipients appear regularly, but the portfolio also extends to community-serving nonprofits and education-related groups. The mix includes theater, music, arts education, and local service organizations, all funded with unrestricted charitable gifts. The pattern is notable for continuity: several grantees reappear across multiple years, often at different award levels, which indicates ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. For researchers, the foundation reads as a place-based family funder that uses general support to help established organizations maintain core operations in a relatively small geographic corridor.
The strongest concentration is in performing arts. In 2025, Jaquith Family Foundation gave $75,000 to Grand Teton Music Festival for an unrestricted charitable gift, and it also supported Off Square Theater Co. with $30,000 in 2024 and $25,000 in 2025. Jackson Hole Center for the Arts received $60,000 in 2025 and additional unrestricted grants of $20,000 in both 2024 and 2023. Community-serving organizations also appear in the portfolio. Teton Youth and Family Services received $25,000 in 2025 and $12,500 in 2023, while Hole Food Rescue received $20,000 in 2025. First in Family was granted $24,000 in 2025, and One 22 received $10,000 in 2025. Health and basic needs groups show up as well. St Johns Hospital Foundation received $22,500 in 2023 and $7,500 in 2024, and Food Bank of Wyoming received $5,000 in 2025. These gifts point to a foundation that supports both cultural infrastructure and local service capacity.
Typical grant size is modest to mid-sized, with a p25 of $1,000, a median of $2,500, and a p75 of $11,800. The recent list shows a wide spread above that median, including several larger unrestricted gifts in the $20,000 to $75,000 range. The pattern also suggests recurring relationships: multiple recipients appear in more than one year, including awards across 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation gives unrestricted charitable gifts, indicating flexible support rather than tightly restricted project funding. Its grantmaking is regional, with most grants going to recipients in Wyoming.
