The Foundation for the Episcopal Diocese of Wyoming makes grants that further the religious, charitable, and educational purposes of the Episcopal Diocese of Wyoming. Successful grants are for projects that restore all people to unity with God and each other, provide for prayer and worship, proclaim the Gospel, promote justice, peace and love, relieve human suffering, and empower both lay and ordained ministers.
Power Packs – Christ Church in Glenrock
Started as a program from the Love Thy Neighbor grant, this program supports efforts in feeding underserved students. Power Packs is a food support program that provides take-home food sacks to schoolchildren (K-12) in Glenrock who are in need of extra food support at home during their long three-day weekends during the school year.
Winter Wilderness & Wonder – St. Peter’s in Sheridan
This program will create an inclusive, nature-based spiritual experience that brings families together through Nordic skiing and snowshoeing while fostering meaningful, screen-free connection. Black Mountain Nordic will provide a guided outdoor program where participants engage their senses through seeing, hearing, smelling, and feeling the movement of their bodies and souls. By removing digital distractions, the experience encourages presence, mindfulness, and deeper connection with one another, the Creator, and the natural world.
Invite – Welcome – Connect to St. Andrew’s – St. Andrew’s in Meeteetse
This is a continuation and expansion of the program they started last year, expanding the connections they were building among community members. This grant will fund a series of programs that will INVITE everyone in the Meeteetse community and surrounding Big Horn Basin to come to fun, informal events. We want everyone to feel WELCOME at these events, and create connections leading to conversations, and conversations lead to understanding, respect and friendship.
Playground Construction – Holy Trinity in Gillette
In the growing area in Gillette near Holy Trinity, there are currently no parks or accessible playgrounds available. Holy Trinity envisions the playground as a community space, a gathering space for families and children in the ever-expanding area.
Sand Creek Massacre Exhibit – St. Alban’s in Worland
St Alban’s helped sponsor, along with Washakie Museum & Cultural Center, the traveling exhibition of The Sand Creek Massacre: The Betrayal that Changed Cheyenne and Arapaho People Forever. The exhibit arrived on August 3rd and will run through October 23, 2026.
Lander Free Medical Clinic Patient Care Support Fund – Trinity in Lander
Trinity Episcopal Church has been a supporting partner of the Lander Free Medical Clinic since its inception in 2022. This grant will support the 2026 Patient Care Support Fund to help them meet their patient service goals for 2026. Those goals include broadening access to specialty care, adding to their patient education initiatives, expanding their in-house diagnostic and testing capabilities, and continuing to serve as a Certified Designated Organization that is authorized to help people enroll in federal American Care Act health plans.
Wyoming International Chamber Music Festival – St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Laramie
