LARAMIE, WYOMING - At its most recent meeting, the Wyoming Community Foundation did what it does best: made grants to outstanding nonprofits across Wyoming. The organization, whose goal is to build a better Wyoming, reports it distributed $520,000 to 61 charitable organizations statewide, $18,000 of which will benefit Sublette County.
"We’re here to help strengthen our community," says Sublette Local Board Chair, Janet Bellis. "With support from generous local donors, we’re able to give funding to worthy and innovative nonprofit programs that are truly making a difference."
The Wyoming Community Foundation counts on donor support for grantmaking. The organization holds nearly 400 funds for families, individuals, businesses, and nonprofits. These funds are invested, and the returns are used to support charitable causes. In 2017, WYCF granted $6.3 million to charitable organizations across the state.
In the Sublette area, the Wyoming Community Foundation’s Local Board recently granted $18,000 to three area nonprofits:
• Pinedale Fine Arts Council
• Sublette County School District #9
• Wyoming Stage Stop Dog Sled Race – Pinedale Stage
"Nonprofit organizations are vital parts of our communities," says Bellis. "The Wyoming Community Foundation is honored to fund the work they are doing."
The Wyoming Community Foundation’s next grant application deadline is December 15th, 2018. Nonprofit organizations making a difference in their communities are encouraged to apply.
