The McMurry Foundation, established in 1998, aims to significantly and beneficially impact communities within Wyoming, with a special emphasis on Natrona County. The foundation focuses on education, religion, children and advocacy for children, health and human services, the arts and humanities, and creating favorable business environments, guided by values of excellence and compassion.
The McMurry Foundation Grant program seeks to fund innovative ventures and established community programs that promise to make a lasting difference in Wyoming, especially within Natrona County. The foundation provides seed money for new initiatives and general funds to expand or improve existing services, supporting sectors such as education, religion, children and advocacy for children, arts and humanities, favorable business environments, and health and human services. Priority is given to programs that address long-term community well-being, support the development of children, foster economic independence, and improve living conditions for those in transition or crisis. The grant also focuses on helping organizations become more self-sufficient through strategic planning, management capacity enhancement, and board development.
