Organizations Filed Purposes: Grand Teton National Park Foundation (the Foundation) is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to fund projects and programs that preserve and enhance Grand Teton National Parks cultural, historic, and natural resources and to help others learn about, experience, and protect the Park. The Foundation facilitated the multimillion-dollar Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center, a public-private facility that opened in 2007, and privately funded a 150-seat high-definition auditorium addition that opened in April 2011. Private gifts also support ongoing commitments in the park each year as well as one-time projects that improve the park, the visitor experience, and advance the organizations mission.

Grants to Grand Teton National Park for the protection, restoration and enhancement of park resources. This contributes to the experience of the 4.3 million annual visitors.

MOULTON RANCH CABINS:THE FOUNDATION PURCHASED THE LAST PRIVATELY-HELD PIECE OF PROPERTY ON THE ICONIC MORMON ROW HISTORIC DISTRICT IN GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK IN 2018. THE FORMER OWNERS WERE DESCENDANTS OF T.A. MOULTON, ONE OF THE ORIGINAL PIONEERS WHO HOMESTEADED THE AREA IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY. In 2020, THE PROPERTY BECAME PART OF THE PARK AND THE PURCHASE CONTINUES A NEAR CENTURY-LONG EFFORT TO MANAGE AND CONSERVE LAND WITHIN GRAND TETONS BOUNDARIES. THE EXISTING BUILDINGS CONTRIBUTE TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. BY INCLUDING THE PROPERTY IN THE PARK, CUTURAL AND NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES ARE ACHIEVED. ADDITIONALLY, SEVERAL BUILDINGS ON THE SITE ARE BEING UTILIZED FOR SEASONAL PARK EMPLOYEE HOUSINGA CRITICAL NEED FOR GRAND TETON.

SNAKE RIVER GATEWAYS:GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK FOUNDATION, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK, LAUNCHED A MULTI-YEAR CAMPAIGN TO TRANSFORM THREE POPULAR ACCESS POINTS ON THE SNAKE RIVER INTO WELCOMING GATEWAYS THAT INVITE VISITORS TO EXPLORE THE RIVER. THE SNAKE RIVER GATEWAYS CAMPAIGN WILL ENHANCE VISITORS' EXPERIENCES AT JACKSON LAKE DAM, PACIFIC CREEK, AND MOOSE LANDING. CURRENTLY, THESE SITES HAVE BARE AND COMPACTED SOILS, ERODED STREAMBANKS, DAMAGED VEGETATION, DETERIORATED FACILITIES, USER CREATED TRAILS, AND POOR FUNCTIONALITY THAT FAIL TO INSPIRE A SENSE OF STEWARDSHIP FOR THE RIVER OR ENTHUSIASM FOR THE ADVENTURES AHEAD. THE CAMPAIGNS GOAL IS TO SEAMLESSLY BLEND ACCESS, EDUCATION, SAFETY, AND SUSTAINABILITY TO CREATE A SENSE OF ARRIVAL THAT ENCOURAGES VISITORS TO ENGAGE WITH THE RIVER AS A SPECTACULAR AND ESSENTIAL NATURAL RESOURCE. WORK BEGAN AT THE FIRST OF THREE PROJECT SITES IN 2020PACIFIC CREEK.

WILDLIFE: THE FOUNDATION LAUNCHED A WILDLIFE AND NATURAL RESOURCE CAMPAIGNWILD TREASURESTHAT WILL SECURE FIVE-YEARS WORTH OF FUNDING FOR ONGOING WILDLIFE INITIATIVES THAT WILL SUPPORT THE PARKS HIGHEST PRIORITY RESEARCH, CONSERVATION, AND EDUCATION PROGRAM NEEDS. GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK ANCHORS THE GREATER YELLOWSTONE ECOSYSTEM ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING LARGE AND NEARLY INTACT NORTHERN TEMPERATE ECOSYSTEMS ON EARTH. THE PARKS RENOWNED WILDLIFE PERSISTS BECAUSE OF A LANDSCAPE THAT HAS CHANGED RELATIVELY LITTLE IN 10,000 YEARS. CAREFUL ATTENTION TO STEWARDSHIP HAS ENABLED GRAND TETON TO BECOME A WORLD-CLASS DESTINATION TO VIEW ICONIC WILDLIFE AND A PLACE OF SCIENCE AND DISCOVERY. BY INVESTING IN SUSTAINED ACTION, THE CAMPAIGN WILL ADVANCE IMPACTFUL WORK, HELPING TO ENSURE THE VIBRANCY AND RELEVANCE OF GRAND TETONS WILDLIFE AS A CENTRAL FEATURE OF THE PARK EXPERIENCE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
