FOREVER JACKSON HOLE
A solution to help care for our Valley’s future
Preserve What Makes Jackson Hole Home
Jackson Hole’s character depends on the people who live and work here—but rising housing costs are making it harder for local workers to remain part of the community they sustain.
Created by community members who wanted to give back, FJH directs a portion of future real estate proceeds to the Community Housing Trust to help create permanently affordable homes for local workers and strengthen the future of Jackson Hole.
How it works
-
Determine whether the property in question will have equity to make a pledge/charitable gift. The binding pledge may be a percentage of the sale amount or a flat dollar amount.
-
Execute a binding Pledge Agreement and send to the Community Housing Trust. A template of the agreement can be found here.
Note: Consult an attorney and/or tax advisor regarding your specific scenario.
-
Record binding Pledge Agreement against the title of the property to notify the public (and future title companies) that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of your home should be directed in accordance with the Pledge Agreement.
Note: Details of the Pledge Agreement will remain confidential and will not be a part of the public record. The recorded memorandum will notify the closing title company where to find the details of the pledge and the subsequent gift will be donated.
-
Upon sale of the encumbered property, the recorded Pledge Agreement will notify the closing title company of the pledge and the charitable contribution will be conveyed to the Community Housing Trust.
