The WYCF is a non-governmental, publicly supported foundation, governed by a self-perpetuating board of citizens, making grants from individual funds contributed or bequeathed by individuals, families, corporations, nonprofit organizations and other sources. Since its inception in 1989, the WYCF has made $23 million in grants to Wyoming nonprofits. The mission of the Wyoming Community Foundation is to connect people who care with causes that matter to build a better Wyoming.
