Key Takeaways
WyoGives 2026 raised a record $6,465,075 in online donations for 514 Wyoming nonprofits during its 24-hour run on July 15, with more than 10,000 donors making 20,511 gifts.
The total includes a $1 million incentive pool from the Hughes Charitable Foundation, and offline donations keep counting toward the total through the end of July.
The previous record was about $5.75 million in 2025, so Wyoming's statewide giving day grew roughly 12 percent in a year.
Wyoming's statewide giving day just set another record. WyoGives, the 24-hour online donation drive run by the Wyoming Nonprofit Network, raised $6,465,075 for 514 nonprofits on July 15, the Wyoming Tribune Eagle reported, with more than 10,000 donors making 20,511 individual gifts.
The total includes a $1 million incentive pool from the Hughes Charitable Foundation, which will be distributed to qualifying nonprofits, and offline donations designated for WyoGives will keep counting toward the total through the end of July. Last year's record was about $5.75 million, so both the money and the donor base grew in a single year.
The spread is what organizers kept pointing to. Katherine Ratigan, communications and program manager for WyoGives, said the team was struck by "how broadly Wyoming's generosity was shared," with support reaching nonprofits of every size rather than pooling at the top. In Cheyenne alone, 101 local nonprofits brought in $1,010,626 under this year's theme, The Power of One.
That number is worth sitting with. Wyoming has fewer than 600,000 residents, which puts the day's online giving at roughly $11 for every person in the state in 24 hours, gathered one small gift at a time through wyogives.org.
Wyoming's giving infrastructure keeps compounding, and it had company this week. The same day the totals landed, the Wyoming-built EAT Card went live on the Apple App Store as a Visa debit card that funds meals, and at the other end of the scale, Lilly Endowment became the first US foundation to report a $100 billion endowment. Worth watching where the final total lands once offline gifts are counted at the end of July.
