    Funding Style

    About Wyoming Community Foundation

    One of Wyoming Community Foundation’s clearest signals is its support for statewide scholarship infrastructure alongside large gifts to anchor institutions. In 2025, the foundation gave $2,505,000 to University of Wyoming Foundation in Laramie for education, while also making a $1,010,000 grant to National Cowgirl Museum in Fort Worth for arts, culture, and humanities. Those two grants point to a funder that supports both in-state civic capacity and selected regional cultural organizations. The foundation’s portfolio also reaches into community services and environment work through grants such as $1,005,000 to Boys & Girls Club of Douglas in 2023 and $230,925 to The Nature Conservancy Wyoming in Lander in 2025. It funds public benefit organizations, human services, education, arts, and conservation, with many awards going to Wyoming nonprofits and public-serving institutions. Its active programs show a mix of donor-advised giving, competitive community grants, and scholarship funds, including programs tied to county-level eligibility and workforce pathways. The result is a broad community foundation profile built around local institutions, student support, and issue-specific grants across Wyoming.

    What Wyoming Community Foundation Funds

    Education appears in several forms, from higher education to libraries and scholarships. The foundation gave $159,066 to Niobrara County Library Foundation in Lusk in 2025, and its active scholarship portfolio includes the Path-away Scholarship for Albany County seniors who attend a four-year college or university outside Wyoming, plus the Lauren P. Miller Apprenticeship Scholarship for participants in a U.S. Department of Labor registered apprenticeship. Human services is another recurring lane. In 2025, Wyoming Community Foundation gave $150,000 to Climb Wyoming in Cheyenne, and $170,000 to Bonterra FKA Network For Good in Las Vegas for human services. Arts and culture grants also appear through $241,335 to Washakie Museum and Cultural Center in Worland and $150,419 to WyoFile in Lander. Environment and animals show up in the $120,000 grant to Wyoming State Parks and Cultural Resources in Cheyenne.

    How Wyoming Community Foundation Gives

    Typical grant size is modest relative to the foundation’s largest awards: the 25th percentile is $8,500, median grant size is $12,000, and the 75th percentile is $25,000. That pattern sits alongside a few very large institutional grants and many smaller community awards. The foundation’s active programs show both competitive grants and scholarship funds, and several are open to unsolicited applications. It also operates as a mixed community foundation with donor-advised funds, and its donor-advised fund program accepts cash, appreciated securities, and complex gifts such as real estate and mineral rights. Recent grants span multiple years and include repeat support to some recipients across 2023 to 2025.

    Where Wyoming Community Foundation Makes Grants

    Grantmaking is heavily concentrated in Wyoming: 87% of grants go to recipients in the state, and Wyoming is also the top state by grant count.

The recent-grants list also includes a smaller set of out-of-state recipients, including Fort Worth, Texas; Lubbock, Texas; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Guilderland, New York. Country distribution is entirely U.S.-based in the data provided.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Wyoming Community Foundation

    What kinds of funding programs does Wyoming Community Foundation run?

    Its active programs include donor-advised funds, named scholarships, and competitive grant programs such as WYCF General Grants, the Wyoming Intertie Community Investment Program, the Microsoft Technology and Sustainability Grant, and county-specific funds like the Hazel Patterson Memorial Grant.

    The typical grant size is $8,500 at the 25th percentile, $12,000 at the median, and $25,000 at the 75th percentile. That distribution sits below some of the foundation’s larger institutional grants, which reach into the six- and seven-figure range.

    Does Wyoming Community Foundation fund only Wyoming recipients?

    No. Most grants go to Wyoming recipients, but the recent-grants list also includes organizations in Fort Worth, Lubbock, Oklahoma City, Las Vegas, and Guilderland. Even so, 87% of grants are awarded to recipients in Wyoming.

    What focus areas show up most often in Wyoming Community Foundation’s grantmaking?

    The foundation supports community development, education and scholarships, youth and afterschool programs, wildlife and environment, arts and culture, and human services. Recent grants also show public benefit and health-related support alongside those areas.

    Are there scholarship opportunities tied to specific places or fields?

    Yes. The Miff and Mark Kolitska Scholarship supports students from Sheridan and Johnson Counties pursuing nursing, agriculture, or vocational programs, and the Path-away Scholarship is for Albany County high school seniors attending a four-year college or university outside Wyoming. The apprenticeship scholarship supports people in registered apprenticeship programs.
