It's Tin Cup Time!

TODAY, June 12th, marks the official opening of the Tin Cup Challenge. This fundraiser is our lifeline. Our work wouldn't be possible without you!

Over the last year, we have:

• Attended over 150 local government meetings.
• Provided comments at dozens of hearings. 
• Helped stop or improve projects that didn’t meet community standards.
• Worked directly with developers to shape better project outcomes.
• Partnered with local, regional, and national organizations.
• Protected over 400 acres from irresponsible development.
• Supported workforce and deed restricted housing.
• Protected waterways.
• Served on a panel for the Henry’s Fork Watershed Alliance. 
• Served on a workforce housing task force for the Teton County Joint Housing Authority.
• Began work with farmers on succession planning and seeking solutions to protect farmland from development. 
• Submitted a response to Targhee’s DEIS where we proposed a VARD alternative that considered the base area allowances already in development stages.
• Supported changes to the LDC to allow drive-in theaters in support of The Spud.
• Opposed proposed LDC changes that would allow dude ranches as a blanket use in 20 acre foothill zones across the county.
• Gained a seat at the table with Tetonia as it faces immense growth pressures. 
• Responded to countless questions and concerns from neighbors across the valley.

All of this work has been done because of contributions from individuals like you. Nearly 100% of our funding comes from supporter donations.

The Tin Cup giving period will be open from June 12th to July 24th. Please make your gift today so that we can continue our vital work and advocate for the place we all call home!

With much gratitude,

Niki, Hanna, Rachel, and the VARD Board
