Funding Opportunities
Community Partnerships
In the past three years, the Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Board has partnered with more than 15 local organizations and provided more than $2.5 million in funding to manage, market, steward, and develop the destination. Current partners include Friends of Bridger-Teton, Rendezvous Events, and the Teton County Historic Preservation Board.
JHTTB funding through Community Partnerships has protected and advanced Jackson, ensuring tourism is a positive force in our community. JHTTB funding has been directly attributed for minimizing human-caused wildlifes and human-wildlife interactions in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, increasing winter visitation and responsible recreation on Jackson’s nordic trails, educating visitors upon first arrival at the Jackson Hole Airport, and much more.

JHTTB Partners
Upon funding approval, partners will complete a contract with the JHTTB before beginning work. The JHTTB requires that the Visit Jackson Hole logo and messaging be appropriately represented throughout the project, using logos and brand guidelines outlined in the media kit. As project work is completed and expenses are accrued, the partner may submit vouchers for reimbursement of expenses as agreed to in the contract. For questions on the voucher process and reimburseable expenses, contact jhoperations@tetoncountywy.gov.
Upon project completion, all JHTTB partners are expected to submit a recap report online.
