Ideal Applicant

A small to mid‑sized Wyoming nonprofit focused on scholarships, children’s services, youth education, or related community programs with a demonstrated local track record.

Good Fit

  • Programmatic focus on children, youth education, scholarships, or disability/health services for young people.
  • Located in Wyoming or demonstrable service to Wyoming communities.
  • Requests for modest, project‑level support or scholarship funding rather than large institutional grants.
  • Ability to submit a concise letter of request and show local impact or partnerships.

Geography

Restrictive

Observed giving is almost entirely concentrated in Wyoming (about 98% of dollars in the latest year) with only one small out‑of‑state exception, covering two states in total.

Recipient Variety

Moderate

The foundation funded 12 distinct recipients in the latest year across education, children’s welfare, disability services and similar causes, but dollar distribution is highly concentrated (one large scholarship grant and four other large shares).

New Applicants

Moderate

Direct recipient turnover is visible (seven new recipients in the latest year and five returning grantees), and a public letter‑of‑request route is provided; this indicates some accessibility to unfamiliar applicants but selection appears relationship‑influenced and locally focused.
