--- ## Description The Wyoming Community Foundation (WYCF) General Grants program provides competitive funding to nonprofit organizations serving Wyoming communities. The program prioritizes projects that address significant community needs, foster long-term solutions, encourage collaboration among nonprofits, and leverage WYCF funds to attract additional resources. While the foundation considers a broad range of initiatives, it places lower priority on block grants, capital or annual campaigns, debt retirement, and one-time special events. WYCF General Grants aim to strengthen the capacity and impact of Wyoming’s nonprofit sector through strategic, sustainable investments. --- ## Due Dates - March 16, 2026: Spring 2026 full application deadline (submit by 11:59 pm MT) - September 15, 2026: Fall full application deadline (annual cycle; submit by 11:59 pm) - March 15, 2027: Annual recurring March 15 full application deadline (next occurrence after April 11, 2026) --- ## Funding Amount - Typical grant awards range from **$1,000 to $10,000**. - Requests for larger amounts are considered but should be discussed with WYCF staff prior to submission. - Funding may be awarded in full, partially, or denied; additional conditions may be attached to awards. --- ## Eligibility - **Nonprofit organizations** with current 501(c)(3) status and in good standing with the IRS. - Public/governmental agencies may be eligible if the request aligns with IRS charitable purposes. - Fiscal sponsorship is permitted; organizations using a fiscal sponsor must provide additional documentation. - Grants are **not made to individuals** or for political campaign activities. - Only **one application per organization per year** (based on submission date), unless explicit permission is granted by WYCF. - All prior WYCF grant reports must be submitted before reapplying. --- ## Application Process 1. **Review eligibility and priorities** to ensure fit. 2. **Prepare required documents**: - Board of Directors list - Annual operating budget - Most recent fiscal year-end income statement and balance sheet - Project budget (unless requesting general operating support) - Additional materials if using a fiscal sponsor or as requested 3. **Complete and submit the online application** via the [WYCF grants portal](https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=wyominggrants). 4. **Ensure submission by 11:59 pm** on the deadline date. 5. **Notification of results** will be sent approximately 12 weeks after the deadline (June 15 for spring, December 15 for fall). --- ## Additional Information - WYCF encourages collaborative proposals and projects that leverage their funding for broader impact. - Capital requests are rarely funded; contact staff before applying for capital support. - Grantees are required to submit a final report at the end of the 12-month grant period before becoming eligible for future funding. - Application cycles open 12 weeks before each deadline. - WYCF offers office hours for prospective applicants; [book an appointment](https://wycf.org/know-before-applying/#office-hours) for guidance. --- ## External Links - [WYCF General Grants Information](https://wycf.org/grants/) - [Grant Application Portal](https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=wyominggrants) - [Application Instructions](https://wycf.org/application-instructions/) - [Grant FAQs](https://wycf.org/grant-faqs/) - [Book Office Hours](https://wycf.org/know-before-applying/#office-hours) --- ## Contact Information | Name/Role | Email | Phone | Notes | |--------------------------|------------------------------------|---------------|--------------------| | General Inquiries | wcf@wycf.org | 307-721-8300 | WYCF Headquarters | | Programs Associate | cassandra@wycf.org | 307-721-8300 | Application help | | WYCF Headquarters | 1472 N. 5th Street, Suite 201, Laramie, WY 82072 | | |
