Ideal Applicant

Small to mid-sized Sheridan County organizations or eligible individuals working on youth health, education, scholarships, medical/dental aid, food assistance, or other locally focused community services.

Good Fit

  • Based in Sheridan County or otherwise clearly serving Sheridan-area youth and education programs.
  • Proposes youth-focused health, education, scholarship, or basic needs programming with measurable local impact.
  • Requests consistent with past grant sizes (small to mid-range awards, typically under six figures).
  • Uses the foundation’s application form or follows the posted office submission instructions.

Geography

Restrictive

Observed grantmaking is geographically narrow: every documented grant across the three available years was awarded within Wyoming, concentrated in the Sheridan area.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The latest year shows 17 distinct recipients (and previous years show 8–16 recipients), funding hospitals, colleges, youth groups, food programs and individual medical aid, indicating a broadly distributed recipient set despite dollar concentration among a few large local grants.

New Applicants

Broad

Direct access signals and behavior support newcomer entry: a public application form and office submission route are posted, the foundation documents a rolling application process, and the latest year included 12 new recipients (with five repeat grantees), so unfamiliar local applicants have a plausible pathway to funding.
