For over two decades, the Wyoming Women's Foundation has been investing in the futures of women and girls throughout Laramie and communities across Wyoming. Established in 1999, WYWF operates as a dedicated fund within the Wyoming Community Foundation, bringing together a volunteer board committed to advancing women's economic independence and opportunity. The foundation's mission reflects a deep understanding of what Wyoming women need to thrive: access to resources, economic stability, and pathways to self-sufficiency. WYWF's work spans multiple dimensions of women's empowerment, from conducting research on wage equity and economic contributions to providing direct grants that support local initiatives. The foundation has become known for innovative approaches that honor Wyoming's values while addressing modern challenges—such as the Wyoming Women's Antelope Hunt, which builds community among women while strengthening their self-reliance. By granting millions of dollars across numerous counties and supporting diverse causes, WYWF demonstrates its commitment to lasting change in the lives of Wyoming women and girls. The foundation's volunteer-led governance model ensures that decisions reflect the voices and priorities of those most invested in Wyoming's future. Through partnerships, advocacy, and strategic grantmaking, the Wyoming Women's Foundation continues to serve as a trusted resource and catalyst for economic empowerment in Laramie and throughout the state.

Wyoming Equality's journey began in 1987 when a dedicated group of gay and lesbian Wyomingites in Cheyenne and Laramie came together with a simple but powerful vision—to create a welcoming space where they could be their authentic selves while enjoying the outdoors in their home state. What started as an annual camping trip called Rendezvous has evolved into a statewide advocacy organization rooted in genuine community connection and shared values. Today, Wyoming Equality remains committed to its founding principle of building authentic, inclusive communities where LGBTQ Wyomingites feel celebrated and protected. The organization recognizes that meaningful change happens when people come together across differences, which is why it works collaboratively with members, local partners, and allies throughout Wyoming to create lasting impact. From supporting educators and students in schools to advocating for equitable healthcare access to strengthening Pride and PFLAG organizations, Wyoming Equality addresses the real-world needs of LGBTQ communities across the state. Operating from Cheyenne, the organization embodies a deep understanding of Wyoming's unique landscape and culture, bringing both grassroots energy and strategic vision to its work. Wyoming Equality invites all who share its vision of a Wyoming where dignity, humanity, and equality are celebrated—whether through volunteering, donating, building local capacity, or simply standing in solidarity with LGBTQ neighbors and friends.

PFLAG Laramie is rooted in the power of loving families united with LGBTQ+ people and allies who support one another unconditionally. As the first and largest organization of its kind serving Laramie, Wyoming and communities nationwide, PFLAG has spent decades building a foundation of trust, acceptance, and advocacy that transforms hearts and minds across generations. The organization's mission extends beyond simple acceptance to active affirmation—creating spaces where LGBTQ+ individuals and their loved ones feel genuinely valued for who they are. What sets PFLAG Laramie apart is its deeply personal approach to community building. The chapter understands that coming out, navigating gender identity, accessing gender-affirming healthcare, and finding one's place in the world are deeply human experiences that benefit from compassionate, knowledgeable support. By bringing together parents, family members, allies, and LGBTQ+ individuals themselves, PFLAG Laramie fosters connections that combat isolation and build resilience. In Laramie and beyond, PFLAG operates from a place of accountability and transparency, holding itself to the highest standards of inclusive practice. The organization invites community members to participate in its work—whether through attending events, becoming chapter leaders, engaging in advocacy, or supporting the mission through donations. PFLAG Laramie stands as a beacon of hope, demonstrating that families thrive when diversity is celebrated and every person is empowered to live authentically.
