The humanity of a civilization or community can best be judged by how we treat the most vulnerable among us. Fortunately, in Jackson Hole we have 10 nonprofit organizations that do a great job meeting these needs in our community. Unfortunately, severe cuts to state budgets threaten much of their work. These 10 groups work âto ensure that urgent, core and essential services are unified, available, and accessible to vulnerable, at-risk and in-crisis community members in Teton County.â They do so in an admirably coordinated fashion that ensures that the federal, state and private money we give them is used well. There is also a lot of evidence that these groups are well managed and governed. The average tenure of the groupsâ leaders is well over 10 years. Some staff have been with their organizations for 20, 30 and even 40 years. This longevity of service speaks well of governance stability and the supportive culture of their organizations. This also indicates that our money is being used well.
