Foster'S Outriders Foundation

About Foster'S Outriders Foundation

Foster's Outriders Foundation repeatedly backs civics education at a fixed grant level, including $100,000 awards to The Ashbrook Center and Torch of Freedom Foundation - Patriot Academy. That pattern sits alongside support for trade scholarships, neighborhood projects, and community-building efforts that connect churches, schools, and local volunteers. The foundation’s recent grants show a mix of general support and program-specific sponsorships, with large awards alongside smaller local gifts. Their grantmaking reaches organizations that work with students, youth participants, and community groups. A $150,000 grant went to Convention of States Foundation for general support, while Great Lakes Adult and Teen Challenge received $100,000. The foundation also funds selected local efforts in Wyoming, including Center of Wonder in Jackson and Teton County Fair Foundation in Jackson, showing that place-based giving sits alongside national-scale support. The underlying mission is practical and community-oriented: create and sustain local projects that strengthen communities, promote civility, support trade education, and highlight neighborhood-level good works. That shows up in grants for civic curricula, trades scholarship support, volunteer recognition, and event sponsorships tied to public-facing community programs.

What Foster'S Outriders Foundation Funds

Civics education is one of the clearest themes in the foundation’s grants. They gave $10,000 to Sheridan High School to sponsor five students for We the People, and $10,000 to Fund for Public Education for National History Day. They also provided $10,000 to Cheyenne South High School for We the People, showing support for student participation in structured civic programs. Trade education is another recurring lane. The foundation supports Scholarships for the Trades and also gave $25,000 to Adult & Teen Challenge in Ozark for general support, reflecting broader workforce and education-related giving. Community care appears through local service groups and neighborhood projects. They gave $25,000 to St Vincent De Paul in Phoenix for a litter brigade donation and $20,000 to St John's Ministries in Green Bay for general support. In another local line of work, Harmony Meals covers the cost of church–law enforcement dinners for organized community events.
