Wyoming Women's Foundation Grants
Grant Guidelines
The Wyoming Women’s Foundation solicits an annual mid-summer Request for Proposal from Wyoming-based organizations that serve and support women and girls.
To have your organization’s name added to the mailing list to receive a Request for Proposal send the mailing address for your organization to info@WYWF.org.
The Wyoming Women’s Foundation will only fund organizations that have a current tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service under Section 501 (c) (3). Projects without this status may be considered for a grant through an arrangement with a fiscal agent with a 501 (c) (3) sponsorship.
Following proposal review, organizations will be selected to receive a site visit or in-depth telephone interview by Wyoming Women’s Foundation board members and/or staff. Site visits and interviews will be completed by October and selected grantees will be notified in November.
Proposals that address economic self-sufficiency and access to opportunities for women and girls through systems change are especially welcome. The Wyoming Women’s Foundation realizes the impact continuing education, job training and placement, affordable childcare, wage inequity and teen pregnancy can have on economic self-sufficiency and widening opportunities for women and girls. Because we recognize the significance of these issues, proposals incorporating positive changes to current systems influencing these issues will receive special consideration.
The Foundation realizes the value of diverse constituencies collaborating to address systemic problems that directly affect women and girls in Wyoming.
