Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Teton Area (Teton Habitat) is proud to announce a significant regional partnership with Big-D Companies, marked by a $20,000 donation and expanded support for Habitat projects across multiple states.
In addition to the financial contribution, Teton Habitat recently received a commemorative partnership plaque and additional funding through Big-D’s regional partnership program, demonstrating the company’s long-term commitment to strengthening communities through affordable housing.
Big-D Companies, whose Jackson-based division Big-D Signature has volunteered on Teton Habitat job sites for several consecutive years, continues to invest not only through hands-on service, but also through meaningful financial support. The partnership reflects Big-D’s broader “Here for Good” initiative and national commitment to Habitat for Humanity as an official nonprofit partner.
"Supporting Habitat for Humanity is a natural extension of our company's commitment to building stronger communities," said Shandon Brinkerhoff, Vice President of Big-D Signature. "Through our volunteer days and financial sponsorship, our team has the opportunity to do what we do best - help build safe, lasting homes for families. It's incredibly rewarding to see our employees come together, roll up their sleeves, and make a real difference alongside the Habitat team."
“This partnership represents more than a generous financial gift: it represents shared values,” said Ben Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Teton Habitat. “Big-D understands that housing is foundational to a strong community. Their regional investment helps us scale responsibly, serve more families, and ensure that hardworking local households have access to stable, permanently affordable homeownership.”
Teton Habitat builds and sells homes to qualifying local families, and through developments like Parkside at Benson-Brown Station and the upcoming Northern South Park, the organization is working to address the growing demand for affordable housing in Teton County.
“Consistent, community-based partnerships like this are what make our work possible,” said Jason Bruni, Development Manager for Teton Habitat. “Between volunteerism, knowledge sharing, and ongoing financial support, Big-D’s leadership sets a powerful example of what partnerships like these can achieve.”
As Teton Habitat prepares for continued growth, including new developments and expanded programming, the organization emphasizes that sustainable progress depends on reliable, long-term investment from businesses and individuals alike.
“This partnership reflects our belief that affordable housing is a foundation for thriving communities,” explained Shaun Orr, Chief Information Officer of Big-D Companies. “Supporting strong local Habitat chapters enables us to build stability and opportunity where it matters most.”
Together, through partnership and shared commitment, Teton Habitat and Big-D Companies are building more than homes, they are building lasting stability for families across the region.
