What Jasper taught us about being a community foundation. One year ago, a wildfire tore through Jasper—destroying not just homes, but the everyday places where connection, memory, and meaning live. In the middle of that loss, local leaders stepped up. And so did we—not to lead, but to build the scaffolding that could support community organizations and leaders. In our latest blog, we share what this journey taught us about being a community foundation—and why your support makes it possible. You’ll also get a glimpse into how Jasper’s recovery is unfolding today, as well as some of the incredible local leadership behind it.
