Ivinson Memorial Hospital Foundation

About Ivinson Memorial Hospital Foundation

The strongest signal in Ivinson Memorial Hospital Foundation’s recent giving is its direct support for Ivinson Memorial Hospital itself: the three largest grants on file all went to the hospital in Laramie, including $1,126,480 in 2024, $1,094,052 in 2025, and $873,063 in 2023. That pattern matches the foundation’s stated role in supporting the hospital’s care for the local community. Its funded work centers on hospital support, emergency services, cancer care and infusion services, patient support services, and community health. The active grant programs show how that mission is translated into project-specific support: the capital campaign for the Emergency Services Facility Expansion and Renovation, and the Women inCourage giving circle for mammography access. The foundation also uses donor-directed funding tools, including designated giving and custom funding opportunities, to channel support toward specific departments, projects, and areas of greatest need. In the recent grant record, giving is concentrated entirely in Wyoming and entirely to U.S. recipients. The foundation’s approach is local and hospital-centered rather than broad or national, with funding tied to the needs of one health system and its patients.

What Ivinson Memorial Hospital Foundation Funds

Hospital operations and emergency care are core priorities. The capital campaign for the Emergency Services Facility Expansion and Renovation supports a renovation of 8,800 square feet and an expansion of 3,250 square feet, with 13 full-size treatment rooms, improved airflow, isolation rooms, and expanded clinical and non-clinical areas. Women’s preventive health is another defined area. Through Women inCourage, the foundation funds a single project each quarter, and the current focus includes mammograms for women who cannot afford them using 3D Digital Breast Tomography. Cancer care is also a named focus. Health Links Golf Tournament sponsorship opportunities raise funds for the Meredith and Jeannie Ray Cancer Center, tying donor participation to cancer care and patient services. Beyond those programs, donor interest and custom funding opportunities allow foundation staff and the Board to match support with special projects or hospital needs that are not listed elsewhere.
