Donor Advised Funds

Geographic & Field-of-Interest Funds
Donor-Advised Funds give you an opportunity to express all your philanthropic interests. You have ongoing involvement in the use of your endowed fund, and your recommendations are submitted to the WYCF board for approval. A Donor-Advised fund is an efficient alternative to a private foundation.
With a field of interest fund, you can invest in the causes or the community you care most about. Wyoming Community Foundation staff and advisory committees help select grants that meet the established criteria of your fund.

Fiscal Sponsorships
Unrestricted Funds
The Wyoming Community Foundation recognizes that sometimes community groups can benefit from our services above and beyond grant dollars. Fiscal sponsorship is a formal arrangement in which the WYCF can sponsor a project that may lack exempt status. The relationship allows new nonprofits or community groups to seek grants and solicit tax-deductible donations under our exempt status. The sponsored organization benefits by having access to our staff's financial, development, and grantmaking expertise, and the WYCF has an opportunity to work with important grassroots community efforts.
When you establish an unrestricted fund with the WYCF, your gift addresses a broad range of local needs—including future needs that often cannot be anticipated at the time your gift is made. Unrestricted funds allow us to support long-term solutions; respond quickly to emergencies; and meet changing social, cultural, educational, or environmental needs throughout our state.
