Fall 2026 grants: $1.95 million to 19 Natrona County nonprofits

Natrona Collective Health Trust has awarded $1.95 million in general operating support to 19 Natrona County nonprofits through our 2026 fall grant cycle. Wyoming Rescue Mission joins the group as a new grant partner.

Fall grants went to organizations whose work primarily serves Natrona County residents. Funded areas include mitigating adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), promoting positive childhood experiences (PCEs), expanding access to mental and behavioral health services, supporting early childhood development, and advocacy.

More than half of this cycle’s partners, 11 of 19, focus on ACEs, the stressful or traumatic events in childhood that can affect a person’s health for life. Their work ranges from speaking up for children in court to keeping families housed.

“These 19 organizations are where Natrona County families turn when they need a safe place to sleep or someone to talk to,” said Beth Worthen, CEO of the Trust. “General operating support lets them put the money where it does the most good. They know their work, and we trust them to do it.”
