We belong to the mountains and the vast open spaces—to this small, vibrant town we call home.
Lander, Wyoming is a place of beauty, self-sufficiency, and small-town values.
Lander is a place of belonging. A place where we take pride in our genuine commitment to home and community. We are ranchers and creatives. Teachers and leaders. Outdoor enthusiasts of every kind. Our passions are different, but together, we are community.
The Lander Community Foundation is a local philanthropic foundation whose mission is to create a stronger community by promoting philanthropy, encouraging effective giving, and facilitating volunteerism while providing leadership on nonprofit issues that are important to our community.

Jim Massman, Board Chair, Fremont Symphony Orchestra
“The work that the Lander Community Foundation does to help nonprofits in Lander is invaluable.
The money raised for the Fremont Symphony Orchestra makes up a third to half of our operating budget. As a result we can hire soloists and professional musicians to complete the Orchestra's thirty local musicians. It never ceases to amaze me that a city the size of Lander can support a symphonic orchestra. Lander Community Foundation is a big part of the reason why.”
