Challenge For Charities
Support your favorite local organization.
Donate through the Challenge For Charities.
The Challenge for Charities giving period is from May 1 to July 10.
A strong community works as one.
Challenge for Charities (C4C) shows what happens when we work as one.
During this critical time of fundraising for local nonprofits, LCF works with the community at large—businesses, foundations, and the city—to secure funding that will act as a match to donations from individuals. Since its inception in 2011, we have collectively raised and distributed over $5 million dollars to help local nonprofits help our community.
Challenge for Charities is vital to the majority of nonprofits in Lander. Money raised by the community during this period ensures programs continue to run and that doors stay open.
We believe that C4C embodies the spirit of Lander. It works because we work together, as one.

2024 Participating Organizations
We will announce the participating organizations the last week of March. Check back soon!
Jim Corbett, The Museum of the American West
“The Museum of the American West, which continues to evolve, is what it is today in large part because of the Lander Community Foundation.
The Museum of the American West has been an active participant in Challenge for Charities and its Open Grant Program since its infancy in November 2011. Our organization owes a lot to the Community Foundation for helping to keep our museum a viable entity allowing it to grow into an important, recognizable, and vital asset to our Lander Community. Resources made available to the museum aided measurably in keeping our doors open by helping our organization meet our monthly outlays for the common expenses such as utilities, upkeep, and insurance. The Museum of the American West, which continues to evolve, is what it is today in large part because of the Lander Community Foundation.”
Ami McAlpin, Lander Cycling Club
“Working with Challenge for Charities has helped us develop direct relationships with our donors,
increase our visibility in the community and connect us with other non-profits in Lander. Building community through fundraising has been an extremely valuable collaboration and gave us the stability we needed to hire an executive director with unrestricted, sustainable income.”
Ron Grogran, Lander Masters Special Olympics
“C4C has become one of our largest fundraisers of the year. It is a great example of community inclusion.
LCF has benefitted our organization, Lander Masters Special Olympics, greatly over the past several years by giving us the opportunity to participate in the Challenge for Charities (C4C) fundraiser. Our athletes are so grateful to LCF for the opportunity to be involved in such a great community event. LCF has many other opportunities to volunteer and help build a better community too. We look forward to participating in future events hosted by LCF. Thank you LCF for all you do!!”
