NOTE: THERE ARE NO MISC GRANT FUNDS AVAILABLE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR
Education Foundation of Jackson Hole (EFJH) grants may be available to all TCSD#1 schools, staff, and students. Before you apply for funding, please carefully read the instructions below.
HOW TO APPLY FOR EFJH FUNDING:
- Contact us at ginny@educationfoundationjh.org to ask about your project's eligibility (e.g. "I'd like to order new chairs and there's no district funding, can you help pay for it?").
- Once you have a preliminary thumbs up from us, you should check with your school's principal or your department's supervisor to ensure that they support your project.
- Next, check in with the district business office (and facilities if needed) to make sure that there is district support for the project. Be sure to follow district protocols. If you're unsure, ask your principal or supervisor.
- Once you, your principal, and the district are on the same page, your school will order the equipment using a Purchase Order or district credit card. This gets things rolling quickly.
- Once a PO, invoice, or receipt is issued, you should then submit a request to us through Submittable. Please have your receipts or invoices ready to upload.
- We then present that request to the Superintendent and to our board for final approval.
- Once we have that approval, we reimburse your school for the expense.
- This whole process should take about 2 weeks
EFJH grants only provide funding for projects, programs, or materials that are NOT included in your school's site budget, or in the larger district budget. We do not cover salaries, international travel or expenses, or items that would create inequities between students or schools.
If you are a parent or guardian, please work with your child's school counselor to determine eligibility and to have them complete the application if you qualify.

The Jean Coldsmith Mental Health Fund is designed to provide critical mental health services to uninsured students in crisis or who do not have access to mental health care through other means. The initial approval process provides funding for up to 10 sessions. Students who need more than ten sessions are referred to Mental Health Recovery Services or the Hirschfield Center for continued care.
In some cases, insured students have extenuating circumstances that prohibit them from accessing mental health services. The financial hardship application is intended to support these kinds of students.
Please note family income information is required for this application. The EFJH uses the affordable housing income guidelines as one component of the criteria to qualify.
All applications must be generated by TCSD counseling staff or social workers. This allows us to best support students and identify other resources available for them. Applications are confidential.
If you are a parent or guardian, please work with your child's school counselor to determine eligibility and to have them complete the application if you qualify.
