The Ray and Kay Littler Trust is a small, locally focused private foundation that concentrates its giving on basic community needs in Buffalo, Wyoming. Its grants prioritize direct service organizations that address food insecurity, senior support, and youth programs, with a strong emphasis on sustaining operations and program delivery. The foundation shows a preference for a handful of hometown nonprofits rather than broad geographic giving.
Litt -the Ray and Kay Littler Trust repeatedly directs its support to a small circle of Buffalo nonprofits that meet everyday needs in the community. Bread of Life Food Pantry received three $10,000 grants across 2023, 2024, and 2025 for food assistance, while the Buffalo Senior Center received $10,000 in 2025 and $8,000 in 2023 for senior services. That pattern points to a trust that favors steady help for local service providers rather than one-time, highly specific projects. The foundation’s grants also reach youth-serving organizations, including the Boys and Girls Club, Johnson County YMCA, and Boy Scout Troop 2415, alongside nearby programs tied to childcare, recreation, and family support. It has also funded the Family Crisis Center for equipment and supplies and St Francis Animal Shelter for animal care. Across the recent grant list, the trust’s giving stays centered in Buffalo and is closely tied to direct service delivery, operations, and program continuity.
Food assistance is one of the clearest priorities. The trust gave $10,000 to Bread of Life Food Pantry in 2025 to provide food to individuals in need, and it also supported Johnson County Friends Feeding Friends with $5,000 in 2025 and $4,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for food to hungry children. Senior support is another recurring theme. Buffalo Senior Center received $10,000 in 2025 and $7,500 in 2024 for support services for seniors. Youth programming appears through grants such as $10,000 to Boys and Girls Club in 2025 for operations and $2,500 to Boy Scout Troop 2415 in 2025 for scout activities. The trust also backs family and community services, including $7,500 to Family Crisis Center in 2025 for equipment and supplies and $3,000 to Buffalo Children's Center in 2024 for childcare supplies.
Typical grants are modest: the distribution shows a p25 of $1,882, a median of $2,500, and a p75 of $5,000. Recent awards cluster around operating support, equipment and supplies, and direct service funding rather than large capital commitments. The same recipients appear across multiple years, including Bread of Life Food Pantry, Buffalo Senior Center, Boys and Girls Club, Johnson County YMCA, Learning Tree Preschool, and Boy Scout Troop 2415, showing repeated support rather than one-off giving. The trust does not fund individuals and makes no program-related investments.
