WYO Gives Annual Fundraiser

As Powder River’s Executive Director, I have the joy of connecting with wonderful supporters like you! Perhaps you’ve been seeing reference to WYO Gives on July 16.

As some of you may know this is an organized way of supporting non-profits across Wyoming. I’ve used it regularly to support causes that I care about and I hope you will too. You may have already given all you can to support Powder River, but if you haven’t please consider donating on July 16. To access the donation page, click the WYO Gives Buffalo below.

Alternatively plan on making your contribution in July next year through WYO Gives. Doing so provides the opportunity for Powder River to receive an additional $10,000.

I’m excited about the role Powder River can play in shaping energy and other development in Wyoming in a way that protects the state’s priceless assets – its land, water, air and people. Thank you for being part of this effort.
