Jackson Hole
Jackson Hole is undoubtedly a special place. It is what makes Jackson special, coupled with the limited supply of private land that makes housing unaffordable for people in our community who make essential contributions in our community that we rely on everyday.
However, solutions to conserve our community exist.
Forever Jackson Hole is a planned giving solution to a community-wide problem resulting from an inverse supply and demand equation that is pushing out vital members of our community.
About
Leave an enduring legacy through the donation of future EQUITy from the sale of your home
Forever Jackson Hole is a program for homeowners to leave an enduring legacy on the community they've loved so dearly by pledging a charitable donation tied to the future sale of their home.
​
Born out of the overwhelming desire to give back to a town that has given so much, a group of forward-minded community members came up with the idea to pledge a contribution of proceeds from the future sale of their home to a charity whose work is dedicated to the development of truly affordable housing for local workers - The Community Housing Trust, a not-for-profit Affordable housing developer in Teton County, WY.
​
This program is meant to be a way for individuals who would like to give back and help preserve the soul, character, and support those who sustain Jackson Hole.
How it works
