About Lander Community Foundation

Lander Community Foundation’s recent giving is built around local operating support. The largest grant in the latest data goes to Anam Cara Giving for daily operations and special projects, and several other high-dollar awards follow the same pattern for community nonprofits in Lander and nearby Fremont County. The foundation’s grantmaking is tied to a defined set of local needs: food access, health care, youth services, animal welfare, outdoor stewardship, and community services. The recent grants list shows repeated support for organizations that serve everyday needs in the area. Lander Care and Share Food Bank appears multiple times, as does Lander Free Medical Clinic, both funded for daily operations and special projects. Similar support reaches Lander Pet Connection Inc, Almost Home Wyoming, and First Stop Help Center, suggesting a funding style that favors steady organizational capacity as much as project work. Other awards extend to schools, search and rescue, and conservation-related groups, which places the foundation squarely in the civic and service life of Lander. Across the record, the foundation’s gifts are local and recurring rather than scattered across distant geographies.

What Lander Community Foundation Funds

Education and youth development is one visible strand of the foundation’s work. Apple Valley School received $26,123 in 2025 and $25,881 in 2024, both for daily operations and special projects, showing repeated support for a local school. Health and human services also appear prominently. Lander Free Medical Clinic received $40,350 in 2025 and $26,425 in 2024, while Help for Health in Riverton received $25,036 in 2023 and $22,153 in 2025. Community development and civic engagement shows up through emergency and service organizations. Lander Search and Rescue received $24,244 in 2024 and $23,780 in 2025. Arts and culture are present as well: Academy of the Winds received $30,976 in 2025 and $27,819 in 2024, with each award labeled for daily operations and special projects.

How Lander Community Foundation Gives

Typical grant sizes cluster in the mid-thousands: the 25th percentile is $8,394, the median is $13,885, and the 75th percentile is $19,926. The recent list includes many awards above that range, but the pattern is still centered on local nonprofit support rather than large outliers. Recipients appear across multiple years, including several repeated awards to the same organizations in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation is a mixed community foundation, and its active programs include competitive grants, fiscal sponsorship, and the Challenge for Charities matching fund. Unsolicited applications are accepted in the active programs listed.
