About Muley Fanatic Foundation of Wyoming
Muley Fanatic Foundation of Wyoming Inc. centers its grantmaking on mule deer conservation, habitat work, and hunting-related support. Recent awards show a pattern of large project grants to wildlife agencies and research partners, alongside funding for local conservation implementation. One of the clearest examples is a $173,364 grant to Wyoming Game & Fish in Cheyenne for conservation, following a $151,080 grant to Monteith Shop in Laramie for conservation and a $137,748 grant to Arc Initiatives in Washington, DC, also for conservation. The foundation’s stated purpose is to conserve mule deer and their habitat while supporting sport hunting and sound wildlife management, and that mission shows up in its mix of research, habitat, fencing, and wildlife-management grants. It also funds youth-oriented hunting programs, including support tied to commissioner licenses and hunt-day expenses for youths with life-threatening illnesses. The recent grants list includes multiple awards to University of Wyoming, Wyldlife Fund, and Wyoming Game & Fish, indicating ongoing support for both institutional partners and local conservation efforts.

Wildlife study is a recurring theme. The foundation gave $138,435 to the University of Wyoming in Laramie for wildlife study and $75,000 to the Wyoming Cooperative Research Unit in Laramie for wildlife study, showing direct support for research tied to mule deer and broader conservation science. Habitat and field work also appear in the grant list: Frontier Helicopters in Johnstown, Colorado received $430,160 in 2023 and $309,047 in 2024 for conservation, a scale that suggests major project support rather than small local awards. Local implementation shows up through grants such as $20,000 to Carbon County Weed & Pest in Rawlins for conservation and $20,000 to Laramie County Conservation District in Cheyenne for conservation. The foundation also supports education and outreach, with $8,037 to Cheyenne East High School in Cheyenne for conservation.
