The Bank of Jackson Hole has a long history of serving not just its account holders but the Jackson community.

This year, the bank’s dedication to community service is significant. With the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, Bank of Jackson Hole announces a major grant from the FHLB Des Moines Member Impact Fund that will go to support 31 regional nonprofits.

The matching grant program was introduced earlier this year to provide $15 million to eligible organizations designed to strengthen the communities through member banking partnership. BOJH submitted applications this spring to support numerous community nonprofits across the four Wyoming counties BOJH serves: Teton, Fremont, Sublette and Lincoln. The application awards will enable BOJH to direct more than $500,000 into Wyoming organizations.

“BOJH has a long history of giving back to the communities we serve,” bank President Dawn Pruett said. “With these matching grant funds from FHLB Des Moines we are truly making a focused impact in 2023 on food and affordable housing programs, and supporting children and underserved populations across our BOJH footprint in Wyoming. All of us at

BOJH are immensely proud of our institution’s commitment to philanthropy and relationship banking.”

Each year, BOJH donates to approximately 100 community organizations, and bank associates commit hundreds of hours of volunteer time to various nonprofits, serving on boards and events.

“This is one of the benefits of banking local,” Pruett said. “We take those dollars, and we maximize every single opportunity that's available to us to reinvest in our communities through various partnerships, through our donations and serving on boards. It’s one of our core tenets to invest in our community.”

Grant recipients include Alpine Food Bank, Boys and Girls Club of Central Wyoming, Champions for Children, Children's Learning Center, Climb Wyoming, Community Entry Services, Community Food Closet (Sublette County), Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, Community Safety Network, Coombs Outdoors, Fund for Public Education, Good Samaritan Mission, Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Teton Area, Hole Food Rescue, Immigrant Hope, Jackson Hole Community Housing Trust, National Bighorn Sheep Center, One22, Rendezvous Pointe, Senior Center of Jackson Hole, Slow Food in the Tetons, Thayne Community Food Bank, Thayne Senior Center, Teton Youth & Family Services and Vertical Harvest, among others.
