What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Operating an effective and sustainable nonprofit is challenging, even in the best circumstances. Especially in rural communities, there are limited funding sources and limited opportunities to build organizational and leadership capacity. Many nonprofits are understaffed and lack the necessary infrastructure to operate effectively. To strengthen the nonprofit community and address these challenges, the Wyoming Nonprofit Network was established to be build the capacity and organizational effectiveness of Wyoming nonprofits.
