Governor Mark Gordon has unveiled the Community Charitable Relief Program, which provides grant funding to nonprofit organizations that have provided public assistance or seen a decline in donations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Governor has allocated more than $12.1 million in CARES Act funding to Wyoming counties and tribal governments for the program. All decisions on funding will be made at the local level, with county commissioners and tribal governments placed in charge of distributing the grant funds to local entities to have the most impact.
With the new Congressional aid package extending the deadline states have to use CARES Act dollars, counties and tribes have until March 1 to distribute the grant funding. Governor Gordon is urging counties to act quickly to ensure the funds reach organizations in need.

The latest in Wyoming’s series of COVID-19 relief programs aims to extend some charity to charities.
Governor Mark Gordon has announced that over $12 million dollars have been made available to nonprofit organizations thru the Community Charitable Relief Program. But, unlike previous programs, this one will be decided and distributed on a local level.
The other COVID-19 relief programs – such as the Agriculture, Endurance, and Mitigation funds – saw agencies submit an application to the Wyoming Business Council. While these programs have been successful in aiding Wyoming businesses, Governor Gordon has something different in mind for the latest program.
