JACKSON, Wyo. — The Community Foundation of Jackson Hole announced that Old Bill’s Fun Run 2026 raised a remarkable $28,514,106 in support of local nonprofits.
This total represents 25,416 individual gifts from 4,341 donors. The match fund — created through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill, CoChallengers and Friends of the Match — totaled $6,935,558, while participating organizations received $21,578,547 in gifts designated specifically for them.
Over the last 30 years, Old Bill’s has generated an incredible $334,678,622 for Teton County nonprofits, strengthening the organizations dedicated to supporting the people, places, and wildlife across our valley.
“The lasting success of Old Bill’s is rooted in the spirit of our community,” said Laurie Andrews, President of the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole. “At its core, Old Bill’s is about neighbors helping neighbors. Together, we are investing in the organizations that make our community healthier, more connected, and able to thrive.”
Participating organizations received a 73.5% matching grant through Old Bill’s this this year — meaning nonprofits that raised $30,000 or more in designated gifts received an additional $22,050 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 $18,000,000 to the match pool, inspiring thousands of others to give.
“Old Bill’s is more than a season of giving. It is an investment in the future of our community,” said Betty Andrikopoulos, Board Chair of the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole. “For 30 years, this extraordinary tradition has reflected the generosity and compassion that define our valley. As we celebrate this milestone, we honor Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill for their enduring commitment to the nonprofit sector and for creating a legacy of philanthropy that has transformed our community and empowered local organizations to thrive.”
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, Run Committee, participating nonprofits, donors and volunteers for making this event a continued success.
