JACKSON, Wyo. — The Community Foundation of Jackson Hole announced that Old Bill’s Fun Run 2025 raised a remarkable $26,104,015 in support of local nonprofits. This total represents 25,060 individual gifts from 4,246 donors. The match pool created through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill, CoChallengers and Friends of the Match totaled $6,566,744, while participating organizations received $19,537,271 in gifts designated specifically for them.
Over the past 29 years, Old Bill’s has generated an extraordinary $306,164,516 for Teton County nonprofits, strengthening the organizations that care for people, place and wildlife in our valley.
“Old Bill’s captures the best of who we are as a community,” said Laurie Andrews, President of the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole. “Each year, generosity, collaboration and shared purpose come together to uplift the nonprofits that make Jackson a thriving, connected place to live.”
Participating organizations received a 74.4% matching grant through Old Bill’s this year, meaning nonprofits that raised $30,000 or more in designated gifts received an additional $22,310 match from the Community Foundation.
Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill generously provided the first $1,000,000 in matching funds for this year’s event. Since the event’s inception, they have contributed $17,000,000 to the match pool, inspiring hundreds of others to give. This Giving Season, 11 CoChallengers joined the Match Fund for the first time, and 10 increased their gifts from last year. In total, 112 CoChallengers partnered with Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill to make the match possible.
“Old Bill’s continues to be a powerful reminder of what’s possible when a community gives together,” said Betty Andrikopoulos, Board Chair of the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole. “Every donor, volunteer and nonprofit plays a role in sustaining the spirit of generosity that defines this valley.”
The Community Foundation fundraises the entirety of the Old Bill’s Match Fund, which provides the matching grants, covers event administration—ensuring that participation is free for all—and supports the Foundation’s year-round grantmaking programs.
Thank you to Mr. & Mrs. Old Bill, the CoChallengers, Friends of the Match, participating nonprofits, donors and volunteers for making this event a continued success.

About Old Bill’s Fun Run
One of the most innovative philanthropic initiatives in the nation, Old Bill’s Fun Run began 29 years ago when a generous local couple—fondly known as Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill—envisioned a collaborative, community-wide fundraiser to support local nonprofits. For the first time, organizations came together under one shared effort to raise awareness and resources for community needs.
Since its inception, Old Bill’s has brought an astounding $306 million in philanthropic support to Teton County. These funds are at work every day—feeding the hungry, supporting the sick and elderly, teaching children, protecting wildlife, building affordable housing, enriching lives through the arts and strengthening the fabric of our valley.
Old Bill’s Fun Run is administered by the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole.
