Description
The McMurry Library Endowment Grant supports project-specific library work across Wyoming and is administered by the Wyoming Community Foundation (WYCF). The fund focuses on defined projects rather than general operating support for libraries or library foundations. Its priorities include addressing identified community needs and working toward long-term solutions.
WYCF gives priority to libraries that partner with other nonprofits or programs to enhance services without duplicating existing efforts. It also prioritizes projects that use foundation support to obtain additional or future funding. Past support has expanded families’ access to books, created shared opportunities for outdoor reading, and provided private spaces for members of the public to participate in interviews, telehealth, and virtual work.
