The Roberts Family Foundation is a highly local funder concentrating almost all of its dollars in Sheridan, WY, favoring broad general operating support for community institutions. The foundation directs the majority of its resources to a single intermediary (Sheridan Community Foundation) while also making repeat and sizable grants to local health care, veterans’ housing, senior residential models, and youth service organizations. Its giving signals a commitment to sustaining core community infrastructure rather than project-based or national initiatives.
The Roberts Family Foundation’s clearest signature is its very large 2025 grant of $1,212,458 to Sheridan Community Foundation, a single intermediary that appears to anchor much of the family’s local giving. The foundation also makes repeat general support grants to organizations that hold core community functions in Sheridan, including Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation, Veteran Village, and Green House Living for Sheridan. Across the recent grants list, the pattern is not project-specific philanthropy but support for institutions that serve residents directly: health care, housing, youth services, and community infrastructure. That pattern fits a funder with a highly local scope and all recorded grants landing in Wyoming. Several awards recur across multiple years, such as support for Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and for Veteran Village in 2023 and 2025. Other grants reach organizations tied to youth development, affordable housing, and civic life in Sheridan, showing a preference for sustaining organizations already embedded in the community rather than funding one-off initiatives. The family foundation’s giving is also marked by general operating support, which suggests flexible capital for recipients rather than narrowly restricted project funding.
Local community endowment support is central to the foundation’s recent giving. In 2025, it awarded $1,212,458 to Sheridan Community Foundation for general support, followed by another $10,000 grant in 2024. That relationship stands apart as a large intermediary-style commitment. Health care is another consistent area. The foundation gave $20,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025 to Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation, all as general support. In housing, it made a $50,000 grant to Green House Living for Sheridan in 2024 and a $20,000 grant to Habitat for Humanity in 2023. Youth-serving organizations also appear in the record: it supported Big Brothers Big Sisters with $25,000 in 2024 and Chaps with $25,000 in 2023 and $6,000 in 2024. These grants show a mix of institutional, housing, and youth-development priorities.
The Roberts Family Foundation’s typical grant size falls in a mid-small range, with a p25 of $1,000, a median of $2,750, and a p75 of $13,750. The distribution is skewed by a very large grant to one intermediary, while most awards are much smaller general-support gifts. Repeated grants to the same recipients appear across multiple years, including Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation and Veteran Village, which points to relationship-based giving rather than one-time awards. The foundation is a family foundation, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. The recent grant record also shows general support as the dominant grant type.
