How to Give Through Old Bill’s Fun Run

Old Bill’s 2023 Giving Season ended September 15th.
There are two categories for giving: community donors and CoChallengers. Community donors make a single designated gift, with their chosen amounts allocated to specific nonprofits they wish to support. CoChallengers provide undesignated funding to partially match the designated gifts of community donors, substantially increasing the impact of each participating organization’s fundraising efforts.

What is an Old Bill’s Donor?

1 in 3 Teton County households make a donation through Old Bill’s Fun Run. They come from within all parts of our community, motivated by a shared vision of philanthropy. 

By donating through Old Bill’s during the giving season, the impact of each designated gift is amplified with additional funding provided by CoChallengers and Friends of the Match in the form of partial matching grants.

When the giving season opens, it is easy to donate! Go to old​bills​.org, select your favorite nonprofits, determine how much you wish to give them, and make one tax-deductible donation to the Community Foundation for the total amount. Gifts of all sizes are appreciated and contribute to a large collective impact.

What is an Old Bill’s CoChallenger?

CoChallengers are a special group of individuals and businesses who donate to the Old Bill’s match pool. These gifts are not earmarked for specific nonprofits, but are used to match the community’s donations. Led by Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill, who donate $500,000 annually, CoChallengers give at levels of $25,000 and up.

CoChallengers’ generosity inspires increased community giving and is key to Old Bill’s success. CoChallengers can proudly call themselves community leaders who promote charitable giving and intrinsically value philanthropy. Combined with community-wide efforts, they highlight the tremendous work of local nonprofits and appreciation of that work.
