Senior Citizens of Teton County Inc

What it reported doing in 2025

Hosting. In recent years, SWOT has been able to attract programming and services from other agencies, organizations and individuals through a policy of offering its facilities and programming assistance at a reduced rate to operations that engage or benefit seniors. The large dining room can be configured to seat 90 for a multimedia presentation and the tables can be moved to accommodate many different types of events and activities. Local non-profits often rent the facility for their conferences and events. These arrangements have proven mutually beneficial. The renting organization gets a highly functional space at an affordable rate and SWOT is able to offer in-house programming that would be otherwise beyond its means. SWOT's hosting extends to professional services for seniors, including Teton Valley VITA, a free tax preparation service, and Senior Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA), which offers assistance with Medicare enrollments and claims. Having these services available in a familiar, face-to-face setting is a tremendous benefit to Teton Valley seniors, especially considering how limited and expensive equivalent professional services are in our area. Finally, we have developed several event partnerships, like the recent adventure travel series organized by a local individual. Although not all of these are directly aimed at seniors, seniors often make up the bulk of the audience. In this partnership arrangement, SWOT provides the facility set-up and technical support, and the event organizer focuses on the event itself. Again, SWOT is making use of the systems and resources it has built in the last five years to leverage programs and services that we could not offer on our own. This broad hosting program has come with a cost. Facility rentals for private parties were once a major source of revenue for SWOT. By discontinuing these private rentals and outfitting the Center to attract the kind of programming our seniors wanted and needed, we sacrificed some revenue but greatly increased the scope of service to our community.
