The Templin Curtis Charitable Trust focuses on steady, unrestricted support for community institutions — especially local health care, disability services, faith communities, and children/youth programs — with a heavy geographic emphasis on Wyoming (notably Laramie County/Cheyenne) and nearby Mountain West communities. Grants are often repeat, uniform-sized awards to the same organizations, indicating a preference for reliable operating support rather than project-restricted funding. The portfolio mixes secular human services (hospitals, United Way, disability organizations) with explicit religious and fraternal beneficiaries (churches, Bible society, Masons).
Templin Curtis Charitable Trust shows a clear preference for repeat, uniform general-operating grants to community institutions, with many awards clustered around Wyoming and nearby Mountain West organizations. In the latest grants list, Cheyenne Regional Medical Center appears as the largest recipient at $7,465 in 2023, and several other awards sit at the same $6,000 to $5,600 level across successive years. The trust’s recipients include hospitals, disability-service organizations, churches, fraternal groups, children’s programs, and civic charities, suggesting support for basic organizational stability rather than project-specific campaigns. The pattern is especially visible in Cheyenne and Laramie County, where United Way of Laramie County, Wyoming Childrens Society, First Christian Church, and Stride Learning Center each received multiple general-operating awards. The trust also backs disability-related groups such as American Foundation for the Blind and National Society to Prevent Blindness, along with faith-based organizations like American Bible Society and The Salvation Army. That mix places the foundation among funders that support a broad set of local and regional charitable institutions through relatively steady annual grants.
Health care and medical centers are one of the trust’s recurring priorities. Cheyenne Regional Medical Center received $7,465 in 2023 and $6,000 in 2024 for general operating support, while Platte County Mem Hospital Fdn received $6,000 in 2024 and $5,600 in 2023. Disability and blindness services are another visible theme. American Foundation for the Blind received $6,000 in 2024 and $5,600 in 2023, and Natl Society to Prevent Blindness received the same pair of awards in those two years. Children and youth programs also appear in the portfolio. Stride Learning Center received $6,000 in 2024 and $5,600 in 2023, and Saint Josephs Childrens Home received $6,000 in 2024 and $5,600 in 2023. The trust also supports faith-based and fraternal organizations, including Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Wy and Grand Lodge of a F and a M of Wy.
Typical awards are tightly grouped: p25 is $5,500, median is $5,600, and p75 is $6,000. The latest grants show repeated annual support to many of the same organizations, including multiple recipients that appear in both 2023 and 2024. That points to a renewal pattern rather than one-off project funding. Grants are described as general operating or charitable-purpose support, and the trust also funds individuals: False. The trust is structured as a charitable trust with national giving.
