    About John P Ellbogen Foundation C/O Mary Garland

    The Ellbogen Foundation concentrates philanthropic support on higher education and civic leadership within Wyoming, favoring large gifts to in-state institutions. Its grants primarily build institutional capacity (endowments, capital, scholarships) at the University of Wyoming and local colleges and fund statewide leadership development programs. The foundation gives few but substantial awards and tends to repeat support to the same core Wyoming organizations.

    Focus Areas

    University of Wyoming — major gifts for scholarships, programs, and institutional supportCommunity college capacity-building (e.g., Gillette College Foundation)Statewide leadership development programs (e.g., Leadership Wyoming)Wyoming-focused capital/endowment and program funding for higher education

    Giving Approach

    Concentrated, large-dollar grants with repeat funding to a small set of in-state grantees; few total awards but substantial per-grant amounts focused on institutional strengthening rather than broad, small-scale grants.

    About John P Ellbogen Foundation C/O Mary Garland

    A defining feature of The John P Ellbogen Foundation C/o Mary Garland is its repeated, large-scale support for Wyoming higher education. The biggest recent grant in the record is $570,400 to the University of Wyo Foundation in 2024, and the same recipient appears again at $456,000 in 2023, $335,000 in 2025, $298,400 in 2025, and $220,000 in 2023. That pattern points to a funder that backs institutions over time rather than making isolated awards. Alongside university support, the foundation also gives substantial general support to other Wyoming organizations such as Gillette College Foundation and Leadership Wyoming, showing a mix of post-secondary investment and statewide leadership development. Its active grant programs reinforce that picture: general grantmaking for Wyoming-focused public charities and government agencies, plus a Fund for Teachers partnership for Wyoming educators. The foundation’s stated priorities emphasize education, science, charity, food insecurity, and family life and wellbeing, with grants often used for general support, operating support, project support, and capacity-building purposes. Most of its grantmaking stays within Wyoming and is concentrated on institutions serving the state or large regions of the state.

    What John P Ellbogen Foundation C/O Mary Garland Funds

    Higher education is central to the foundation’s recent grantmaking. In 2025 it gave $250,000 to Gillette College Foundation for general support, and it also supported Eastern Wyo College Foundation with $130,000 in 2023. These grants fit a broader pattern of institutional support for Wyoming colleges and universities. Teacher development is another clear theme. The foundation supports Fund for Teachers programs for Wyoming educators, including the Wyoming Fellows partnership, which funds self-directed professional learning experiences for PreK-12 teachers. That program is aimed at strengthening instruction and enriching schools and communities. The foundation also funds basic-needs work. Recent grants include $215,000 to Wyo Hunger Initiative in 2025, $125,000 to Food Bank of Wyo in 2025, and $100,000 to Laramie Interfaith in 2025. These gifts show support for food insecurity and related community needs within the state.

    How John P Ellbogen Foundation C/O Mary Garland Gives

    The foundation’s grant sizes are uneven and skew large: the typical grant size is $4,000 at the 25th percentile, $8,670 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile. Recent records show repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, especially the University of Wyo Foundation, Wyo Hunger Initiative, Food Bank of Wyo, Unaccompanied Student Initiative, and Leadership Wyoming. The grantmaking profile is consistent with a foundation that uses flexible support; listed philosophy tags include general operating support, unrestricted/general purpose funding, flexible use funding, and donor-advised fund grant. It also accepts unsolicited proposals through its general grantmaking and Fund for Teachers-related programs.
