This year, the TVEF partnered with the Community Foundation of Teton Valley, Teton Valley Health Care, The Rotary Club of Teton Valley, Corner Drugstore, King’s Variety Store and Subs for Santa to purchase school supplies and backpacks for students whose families may be experiencing financial difficulties and cannot afford school supplies.

The TVEF funds Teton High School’s VOICE program each year. The VOICE Student to Student Mentoring Program is an ongoing program where positive older students have a strong VOICE to influence younger students.

Art Reach is another long-term program funded by the TVEF. Through our support, a certified art teacher provides two art class per month to K-5 students.

Each year, TVEF seeks funding to support important out-of-the-classroom learning sessions such as Expedition Yellowstone and Teton Science School.

Robotics is a program partially funded by TVEF where students learn how to design, prototype, build, program and troubleshoot a machine that will compete with other machines across the nation.

Each year, TVEF sets aside approximately $15,000 to support teachers with equipment, supplies, books, technology and field trips. You, as donors, help make these funds possible! TVEF Classroom grants are distributed in September, January and March!

TVEF is currently fulfilling four-year scholarships awarded from 2010-2015. No new scholarships are being awarded until these current scholarships are completed.
