Ideal Applicant
Small Wyoming-focused nonprofits, municipal or community projects, or individual scholarship recipients routed through local colleges or trusted community intermediaries whose needs align with tuition/scholarship support and local community improvements.
Good Fit
- • Applicant is located in Wyoming or serves Wyoming residents.
- • Request is for tuition/scholarship support or a modest community project (typical awards $2k–$10k).
- • Applicant is known or introduced by a local trustee, college, or community leader.
- • Project is a one-off capital or program expense rather than multi-year operational support.
Geography
The latest year shows all grants going to Wyoming; historic filings also show a strong in-state focus with most dollars directed to WY recipients.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded many distinct recipients each year (12 in 2021, 39 in 2022, 13 in 2023), indicating a broad and varied recipient set despite some dollar concentration among the top awards.
New Applicants
Direct filings and the application notes state funding is by preselection only, and there is no visible public submission path; although many new organizations appear each year, those additions appear to be selected rather than coming through an open application process.
