Wyoming Foundation

Whether experiencing quaint villages or rolling hills, gleaming waterfalls or forested nature trails, there is no denying the allure of Wyoming County. To improve the lives of its residents, the Wyoming Foundation was created in 1974 by Dr. James MacCallum. Today, it continues to serve as a trusted partner to provide deep local knowledge and a vehicle through which individuals give to causes and organizations they care about. In addition, the Foundation maximizes clients’ generosity by investing and growing their charitable assets.

Each year, the Wyoming Foundation runs a competitive grants process where funding is distributed to support local nonprofit organizations. In 2021, the Wyoming Foundation continued to support organizations throughout the County. More than $28,000 in grants were awarded to Arcade Free Library, Arcade Historical Society, Eagle Free Library, LEAD Wyoming County, Oak Orchard Community Health, Shake on the Lake, WNY Rural Area Health Education Center, Wyoming Free Circulating Library and Young Audiences of WNY
