This is an initiative developed by the Leadership Jackson Hole Class of 2023. The goal is to raise funds that benefit the critical local human services in the Jackson community and greater Teton County.
How it works: Businesses are invited to participate in this fundraising campaign from May 26 through September 30, 2023. Those that participate in this program will add functionality to their point of sale (POS) system that allows all transactions the option to ‘round up’ to the next dollar. For example, if a sale is $10.51, the system would prompt the customer the option to round up to $11.00. The additional 49 cents would be donated to the below organizations. The money transfers from participating businesses would be facilitated through the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole.
